triskelion

Biology; Biochemistry

A Manx key, a heraldic emblem that depicts three legs seen bent and in profile which radiate from a common center; by analogy, therefore, the three-legged structure of clathrin which is composed of ...

primer mismatch analysis

Biology; Biochemistry

A method for detection of the presence of a specific DNA fragment. Amplification by PCR with, alternatively, a wild-type-specific or a mutant-specific primer for the same chain and an anti-sense ...

ala scan

Biology; Biochemistry

A series of structural variants of a peptide synthesized in order to evaluate the contribution of each residue to the peptide's binding. In each variant a different residue is replaced with an ...
