Biochemistry
Unit membrane Danielli-Davson model
Biology; Biochemistry
A model for the structure of biological membranes; a variation of the Danielli-Davson model in which the membrane is composed of plaques of bilayer (the unit membrane); the outer leaflet turns over ...
Lipid bilayer (bimolecular sheet)
Biology; Biochemistry
A synthetic or natural membrane in which amphipathic lipids are arranged in two layers with their non-polar chains directed inwards, towards each other, and their polar groups directed outwards, ...
Allostery
Biology; Biochemistry
Allosteric regulation; the modification of binding or catalytic properties of a protein by binding of a regulator at a site distinct from the ligand- or substrate-binding site. Allostery typically ...
P
Biology; Biochemistry
In addition to use as the metric notation of pico (10 -9 ), it is commonly used to indicate the logarithm of a reciprocal, e.g. pK a =log(1/K a ). When seen as a prefix followed by a number, p ...
Hatch-Slack pathway
Biology; Biochemistry
A variant of C 3 photosynthesis in which CO 2 is first concentrated at the site of photosynthesis by carboxylation of phosphoenolpyruvate to oxaloacetate, which is then transported as such or as an ...
C4 photosynthesis
Biology; Biochemistry
A variant of C 3 photosynthesis in which CO 2 is first concentrated at the site of photosynthesis by carboxylation of phosphoenolpyruvate to oxaloacetate, which is then transported as such or as an ...
C4 cycle
Biology; Biochemistry
A variant of C 3 photosynthesis in which CO 2 is first concentrated at the site of photosynthesis by carboxylation of phosphoenolpyruvate to oxaloacetate, which is then transported as such or as an ...
