Molecular biology
leader sequence
Biology; Biochemistry
Signal sequence; the N-terminal portion of a secretory or membrane protein that assists it across the membrane of the rough endoplasmic reticulum, where it is synthesized, but which is cleaved from ...
translocon
Biology; Biochemistry
A multi-protein structure through which other proteins may be exported across the plasma membrane (bacteria), or nascent proteins may pass from the cytosol into the endoplasmic reticulum or damaged ...
translocation channel
Biology; Biochemistry
A multi-protein structure through which other proteins may be exported across the plasma membrane (bacteria), or nascent proteins may pass from the cytosol into the endoplasmic reticulum or damaged ...
translocator
Biology; Biochemistry
A multi-protein structure through which other proteins may be exported across the plasma membrane (bacteria), or nascent proteins may pass from the cytosol into the endoplasmic reticulum or damaged ...
dideoxynucleotide fingerprinting (ddF)
Biology; Biochemistry
A method for the detection of mutation in a DNA fragment. The DNA serves as a template for replication using a mixture of four normal deoxynucleotides plus one dideoxyribonucleotide. Electrophoresis ...
triplet state
Biology; Biochemistry
An excited electronic state in which an electron is raised to a higher energy level and its spin is reversed, which prevents its easy collapse to the ground state. Such collapse is sometimes ...
iron-sulphur protein
Biology; Biochemistry
One of a class of redox-sensitive proteins and other enzymes characterized by a prosthetic group of one to four iron atoms, depending upon the protein, which are co-ordinated with the sulphur atoms ...
