Molecular biology

An application of the comparative mapping of genes and other genetic markers in the genomes of several mammalian species to the localization to a specific chromosomal locus of a gene, in particular ...

Cyanobacterium

Biology; Biochemistry

Cyanobacteria (also known as blue-green algae, blue-green bacteria, and Cyanophyta) is a phylum of bacteria that obtain their energy through photosynthesis. The name "cyanobacteria" comes from the ...

Loss of heterozygosity (LOH)

Biology; Biochemistry

A test for chromosomal changes in tumour DNA and the theory that some tumours arise from inactivation of both alleles for an anti-oncogene. Heterozygotes, who already have one mutation, are most ...

Molecular resonance force microscopy (MRFM)

Biology; Biochemistry

A technique similar to atomic force microscopy, which, in theory, can detect and map magnetic resonance in paramagnetic nuclei of macromolecules. The MRFM resonator probe, mounted on a flexible ...

Equilibrium model

Biology; Biochemistry

In evolution theory, phyletic gradualism, the proposition that evolution occurs at a slow and generally constant rate involving a large fraction of an entire species that gradually separates from the ...

Cysteine scanning

Biology; Biochemistry

The use of site-directed mutagenesis to determine, for residues of a complex, usually an uncrystallized protein, their proximity to other residues of the protein, their mileiu (extracellular, ...

Phage-display

Biology; Biochemistry

A method for incorporation, into the DNA that encodes a phage coat protein, of a polypeptide, where it is available for a selection procedure; especially for production and selection of antibody ...
