Molecular biology

An ester of two or more derivatives of orsellinic acid (1,2-dihydroxy-5-methylbenzoic acid). A depsidone is a depside in which the aromatic subunits are additionally coupled to each other by an ether ...

Northern blotting

Biology; Biochemistry

By analogy with Southern blotting, a technique for detection of specific RNA molecules; RNA from a cell is denatured and separated by slab gel electrophoresis, then blotted on to a sheet of ...

Holliday model

Biology; Biochemistry

A conceptualization of general genetic recombination of newly replicated DNA during meiosis. An endonuclease nicks one strand of each of the two daughter duplexes at homologous sites which permits ...

Competitive binding assay

Biology; Biochemistry

A technique for assaying a substance by observing how effective it is, compared with standards, in displacing a fixed amount of the labelled (often radiolabelled) material from a binding site of ...

Western blotting

Biology; Biochemistry

A technique to detect specific proteins. A mixture of proteins is separated by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, blotted on to a plastic sheet (e.g. of nitrocellulose) and then exposed to a ...

Immunoblotting

Biology; Biochemistry

A technique to detect specific proteins. A mixture of proteins is separated by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, blotted on to a plastic sheet (e.g. of nitrocellulose) and then exposed to a ...

Domain

Biology; Biochemistry

A region of a protein that has a stable secondary and tertiary structure that can fold independently of other domains; often connected to other domains, of the same protein if any, by short sequences ...
