Southern blotting

Biology; Biochemistry

A technique for detection of specific DNA fragments. Restriction fragments are separated by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, blotted on to a plastic sheet (e.g. of nitrocellulose) and detected by ...

Proofreading

Biology; Biochemistry

In DNA replication, the 3'-to-5' exonuclease activity of a polymerase that removes incorrectly paired bases, also referred to as editing; in protein synthesis, the hydolysis of an incorrectly paired ...

Editing

Oligonucleotide array

Biology; Biochemistry

In biotechnology, a component of a device for screening genomic or cDNA for mutations, polymorphisms or gene expression. A chip is a small (a few centimetres on each side) standardised glass or other ...

Ion trap

Biology; Biochemistry

A mass spectrograph in which vaporised ions are confined by an AC electric field. As the radio-frequency voltage that confines the ion is changed, the ion will escape the trap at a voltage ...

Southwestern blotting

Biology; Biochemistry

A technique for identification of DNA-binding proteins and regions of DNA that bind proteins which combines aspects of Southern and western blotting techniques. A nuclear extract is separated by ...
