Molecular biology

A complex of lipids and apolipoproteins that is a transport form of lipids in blood. Lipoproteins are characterized by their density, which is determined by the lipid portion, and include high-, low- ...

fluorescence photobleaching recovery

Biology; Biochemistry

A technique to measure the mobility of membrane lipids by destruction of fluorophore-tagged molecules in a very small area of a membrane and measurement of the rate at which new molecules migrate ...

time-resolved

Biology; Biochemistry

Decribes a technique that follows a parameter over the time in which it changes, e.g. time-resolved fluorescence applied to monitor changes in protein folding; as opposed to a technique that observes ...

exon

Biology; Biochemistry

From expressed region, i.e. a region of a eukaryotic gene that encodes a sequence of amino acids; as opposed to an intron, i.e. an intervening region or sequence. Introns are excised before ...

transamidation

Biology; Biochemistry

The substitution of one amino compound for another in an amide linkage, e.g. the cross-linking of fibrin by the displacement of NH 3 from glutamine residues by an ε-amino group of a lysine residue ...

Shine-Delgarno sequence

Biology; Biochemistry

A polynucleotide sequence of prokaryotic mRNA that is complementary to, and therefore base-pairs with, a sequence at the 3'-end of bacterial 16S rRNA, which function to position the initiator codon ...

di-

Biology; Biochemistry

A prefix derived from the Greek for two; also the form of the prefix dia- used before a vowel. In organic chemistry, used to denote twice the usual proportion of an element or other component; bi- ...
