Molecular biology

A characteristic of some proteinases; the transfer of one product of the catalytic cleavage to another peptide rather than to water; the transfer of the N-terminal fragment to the amino group of an ...

Surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization (SELDI)

Biology; Biochemistry

A pre-mass spectroscopy screening and selection technique. Spots on an inert surface are modified to bind a desired types of protein; e.g. with phenyl or amino groups for hydrophobic or acidic ...

Omic research

Biology; Biochemistry

Following the currency of 'genomics', additional words have been coined to denote the compilation of data bases as resources for future research and analysis; proteonomics for proteins, kinomics for ...

Unnatural amino acid mutagenesis

Biology; Biochemistry

A method for replacement of an amino acid residue of a protein with a non-naturally occurring amino acid. The mRNA that encodes the protein is modified to encode a nonsense suppressor codon. For ...

Affinity precipitation

Biology; Biochemistry

A technique for purification of proteins that depends upon reversible attachment to a ligand. A bis-ligand (or homofunctional ligand) is a double-headed molecule that can attach at each end to part ...

Aromatic

Biology; Biochemistry

Descriptive of an organic compound that contains a planar cyclic structure of unusually stability due to the delocalization of electrons. The simplest aromatic compound is benzene, but the family of ...

Substrate phage

Biology; Biochemistry

A method for identification of the substrate specificity of a proteinase by its ability to select a phage that expresses a cleaveable polypeptide, which is one of a library of random amino acid ...
