Molecular biology

A preparation from which low-molecular-mass extrachromosomal DNA may be isolated; made by rendering insoluble the higher-molecular-mass DNA and other cellular structures by treatment of cells with a ...

pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE)

Biology; Biochemistry

A technique for separation of chromosomes and very large DNA molecules, usually for purposes of genetic mapping; alternating pulses of electricity directed at 1208 across the plane of an agarose gel ...

cytoskeleton

Biology; Biochemistry

The network of relatively rigid structures within a cell that give it shape and provide a framework against which intracellular movement may take place; includes microtubules, intermediate filaments, ...

phospholipid-transfer protein

Biology; Biochemistry

A lipoprotein of the intracellular membranes of eukaryotic cells that can exchange its phospholipid or sterol for membrane components, and can shuttle lipids between these membranes, e.g. between the ...

exchange protein

Biology; Biochemistry

mimetic

Biology; Biochemistry

A non-peptide synthetic molecule that reproduces some features of a natural peptide, e.g. it may bind strongly to an antibody by placement of the same functional groups, in the same relation to each ...

metabolon

Biology; Biochemistry

A proposed multienzyme complex that is responsible for metabolite channelling, so as to eliminate or minimize loss of efficiency due to the otherwise necessary diffusion of substrates to and of ...
