One of two or more alternate forms (alleles) of a chromosomal locus that differ in nucleotide sequence or have variable numbers of repeated nucleotide units.
diastereoisomer
Biology; Biochemistry
One of two or more compounds that differ from each other at one or more asymmetrical centres, e.g. D-erythrose and D-threose.
stereoisomer
Biology; Biochemistry
One of two or more compounds that differ only in their orientation at one or more asymmetrical centres.
isoreceptor
Biology; Biochemistry
One of two or more homologous plasma membrane or cytosolic receptors that have the same or altered functions; analogous to an isoenzyme.
