phase problem
Biology; Biochemistry
In X-ray crystallography, the gap between the requirements for reconstruction of a model - for each reflection (defined by the angle of its diffraction), the amplitude (related to ...
Cornish-Bowden plot
Biology; Biochemistry
A graphical method for determination of the type of enzyme inhibition and the dissociation constant for an enzyme-inhibitor complex (K i ) or for an enzyme-inhibitor-substrate ...
variable number tandem repeat (VNTR)
Biology; Biochemistry
A minisatellite DNA; the repetition of a 35-80bp sequence, to a size of up to 2kbp, that is characteristic of an individual. VNTRs are used in forensic science to identify, or ...
molecular model
Biology; Biochemistry
A physical representation, e.g. balls and sticks, used to represent the structure of a compound or macromolecule, or a computer graphics simulation of such a structure. More ...
Holliday model
Biology; Biochemistry
A conceptualization of general genetic recombination of newly replicated DNA during meiosis. An endonuclease nicks one strand of each of the two daughter duplexes at homologous ...
Western blotting
Biology; Biochemistry
A technique to detect specific proteins. A mixture of proteins is separated by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, blotted on to a plastic sheet (e.g. of nitrocellulose) and then ...
