Molecular biology
Nuclear scaffold
Biology; Biochemistry
The network of protein fibres that underlies the nuclear inner membrane and is exposed upon extraction of soluble proteins from the nucleus. Between mitoses (interphase), chromatin is attached to the ...
Hofmeister series
Biology; Biochemistry
The arrangement of anions and cations according to their ability to modify the properties of other solutes such as proteins, probably via their effectiveness in altering the internal structure of the ...
Lyotropic series
Biology; Biochemistry
The arrangement of anions and cations according to their ability to modify the properties of other solutes such as proteins, probably via their effectiveness in altering the internal structure of the ...
Bubble
Biology; Biochemistry
A widened segment of duplicating double-stranded DNA, visualised by electron microscopy, that is formed by two replication forks that travel away from the common origin of replication. The ...
Side chain
Biology; Biochemistry
The moiety of an amino acid residue in a protein, or of a free amino acid, that is attached to the α-carbon and is unique to each amino acid, e.g. the isopropyl group of valine, the benzyl group of ...
Potentiometric titration
Biology; Biochemistry
The use of a potentiometer, especially a pH meter, to follow the titration of an oxidizable group with a reductant (or vice versa) to generate a graph of reduction potential against percentage ...
Respiration state
Biology; Biochemistry
The condition of tightly coupled mitochondria that is characterised by their respiratory rate (all but state 3 are slow) and defined by the rate-limiting component: state 1, ADP- and ...
