Biology; Biochemistry

A technique for separation of charged compounds or macromolecules in solution according to their affinities for a positively charged stationary phase (an anion exchanger) or a negatively charged ...

human artificial chromosome (HAC)

Biology; Biochemistry

An artificial assembly of chromosome features, telomere, centromere, etc., that is used to test the minimum features required for replication in transfected cells. The mammalian artificial chromosome ...

transfer-messenger RNA (tmRNA)

Biology; Biochemistry

A single or two-strand bacterial RNA with both tRNA and mRNA functions. As part of a ribonucleoprotein complex it can rescue a ribosome that has become trapped in a complex by a mRNA that has lost ...

thin-layer chromatography (TLC)

Biology; Biochemistry

A technique to separate small molecules on a thin film of an adsorbent on a glass or semi-rigid plastic surface by their differential mobilities in a liquid phase that passes through the film by ...

pseudo-first order

Biology; Biochemistry

In kinetics, descriptive of a rate that is directly dependent upon the concentration of one reactant that is experimentally varied. The rate may also be dependent upon the fixed concentrations of ...
