Biochemistry
Hydrophobic zipping
Biology; Biochemistry
A view of the initiation of protein folding in which the formation of hydrophobic interactions between very close groups bring slightly more remote groups into interaction distance in an accelerating ...
Conservative mutation
Biology; Biochemistry
Such a mutation results in an amino acid substitution that preserves an essential chemical characteristic of the original, e.g. a leucine for an isoleucine, an aspartate for a glutamate, a lysine for ...
10Sa RNA
Biology; Biochemistry
A single or two-strand bacterial RNA with both tRNA and mRNA functions. As part of a ribonucleoprotein complex it can rescue a ribosome that has become trapped in a complex by a mRNA that has lost ...
SsrA
Biology; Biochemistry
A single or two-strand bacterial RNA with both tRNA and mRNA functions. As part of a ribonucleoprotein complex it can rescue a ribosome that has become trapped in a complex by a mRNA that has lost ...
Pseudo-first order
Biology; Biochemistry
In kinetics, descriptive of a rate that is directly dependent upon the concentration of one reactant that is experimentally varied. The rate may also be dependent upon the fixed concentrations of ...
Sequence
Biology; Biochemistry
The ordered linear array of amino acid residues in a protein, of bases in a polynucleotide, or of glycosides in a complex polysaccharide; also, as a verb, to determine such a sequence, e.g. to ...
Triplex-forming oligonucleotide (TFO)
Biology; Biochemistry
An oligonucleotide that recognises a specific dsDNA sequence. Designed to affect the expression of a specific gene, it lies in the major groove of the double helix and forms Hoogstein base pairs with ...
