Molecular biology
succinate-Q reductase complex
Biology; Biochemistry
One of the electron transport chain Proteins. Complex II transfers electrons from FADH2 onto coenzyme Q.
complex III
Biology; Biochemistry
One of the electron transport chain Proteins. Complex III accepts electrons from ubiquinone and passes them on to cytochrome c.
frontal lobes
Biology; Biochemistry
One of the four lobes of the brain. It is divided into motor, pre-motor and pre-frontal areas. The pre-frontal area is responsible for many cognitive functions.
excitation
Biology; Biochemistry
One of the responses caused by specific neurotransmitters binding to receptors on a neuron. Excitation increases the probability that neurotransmitters will be released by the neuron.
inhibition
Biology; Biochemistry
One of the responses caused by specific neurotransmitters binding to receptors on a neuron. Inhibition decreases the probability that neurotransmitters will be released by the neuron.
nuclease
Biology; Biochemistry
One of the several classes of enzymes that degrade nucleic acid. An enzyme that can degrade DNA or RNA by breaking phosphodiester bonds.
vastus intermedialis
Biology; Biochemistry
One of the three muscles that form part of the quadriceps muscle of the thigh, located at the front of the thigh.
