potentiometric titration

Biology; Biochemistry

The use of a potentiometer, especially a pH meter, to follow the titration of an oxidizable group with a reductant (or vice versa) to generate a graph of reduction potential against percentage ...

Biology; Biochemistry

The condition of tightly coupled mitochondria that is characterized by their respiratory rate (all but state 3 are slow) and defined by the rate-limiting component: state 1, ADP- and ...

Biology; Biochemistry

A widened segment of duplicating double-stranded DNA, visualized by electron microscopy, that is formed by two replication forks that travel away from the common origin of replication. The ...

central dogma

Biology; Biochemistry

In biology, the proposition that the permanent repository of genetic information is DNA which can be replicated, and that the information is expressed unidirectionally by transcription into RNA and ...
