Molecular biology
jumping PCR
Biology; Biochemistry
A technique for reconstruction and replication of randomly damaged double-stranded DNA, e.g. that found in mummified tissues or museum samples. In the first PCR cycle each primer is extended until a ...
G-protein
Biology; Biochemistry
GTP-binding protein; one of a superfamily of proteins that function in, for example, signal transduction (e.g. the G-protein associated with the b-adrenergic receptor), polymerization (e.g. tubulin), ...
regulation
Biology; Biochemistry
The phenomenon of adjustment of metabolite flux, e.g. glucose that enters the anaerobic glycolysis pathway and exits as lactate, whatever its molecular mechanism. It reflects for each step of the ...
Donnan effect
Biology; Biochemistry
The unequal distribution of a diffusible ion across a semi-permeable membrane when an impermeable electrolyte, such as a protein, is also present on one side; e.g. a solution of an anionic protein ...
Gibbs-Donnan effect
Biology; Biochemistry
The unequal distribution of a diffusible ion across a semi-permeable membrane when an impermeable electrolyte, such as a protein, is also present on one side; e.g. a solution of an anionic protein ...
transition state
Biology; Biochemistry
In chemical kinetics, the hypothetical state that is mid-way between reactants and products, poised at a point where the reaction is as likely to go forward to products as it is to fall back to ...
quadruplex DNA
Biology; Biochemistry
A form of DNA in which four oligo(G) sequences, either of the same or of different strands, line up either in a parallel, an anti-parallel or in a fold-back (mixed parallel and antiparallel) pattern. ...
