Molecular biology

A 10 to 200 nm protein-, cholesterol- and sphingolipid-rich microdomain of a membrane (e.g. plasma, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondrial). These rafts are more ordered and thus denser than the lipid ...

ligation-independent cloning of PCR products (LIC-PCR)

Biology; Biochemistry

A method for cloning complex mixtures of PCR products to achieve a library of recombinant clones. PCR-amplified sequences, e.g. those bracketed by Alu sequences, are generated with primers that ...

molecular accordion

Biology; Biochemistry

A reporter molecule; a fluorophore-labelled linear polymer that interacts with natural and synthetic phospholipid membranes, and whose fluorophores respond to the polymer ' s physical environment. ...

enzyme mechanism

Biology; Biochemistry

An elaborate system of nomenclature has been proposed to describe, from the perspective of kinetics, the variety of enzyme mechanisms. Uni, Bi, Ter and Quad refer to the number of substrates or ...

eukaryote

Biology; Biochemistry

Common name of a member of the Eucarya, one of the three domains of living organisms that are classified according to rRNA sequence homologies; they are further characterized by cells containing ...

entropy effect

Biology; Biochemistry

The acceleration of a reaction that occurs when reactive groups are constrained in a productive orientation, either intermolecularly, as on an enzyme surface, or intramolecularly as in a model ...

cyclophilin

Biology; Biochemistry

An enzyme that binds the immunosuppressant compound cyclosporin, thereby blocking its activity as a peptidylprolyl cisÂ¿trans isomerase. Cyclophilin A is present in the cytosol and when bound to ...
