Molecular biology

From intervening sequence region; originally defined as a non-coding polynucleotide sequence that interrupts the coding sequences, the exons, of a gene. More recent evidence indicates that, in some ...

Intron editing

Biology; Biochemistry

A change in the reading of the sequence coded by DNA directed by an adjacent intron. The intron, which has a sequence complementary to part of the exon, forms a double-stranded stem structure that is ...

Electron spin resonance (ESR)

Biology; Biochemistry

Also known as electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR); a magnetic resonance technique that detects and characterises the environment of a moiety that contains an unpaired electron by the energy that is ...

Doublet

Biology; Biochemistry

A subunit of the axoneme in which 10 microtubule protofilaments are grafted longitudinally on to a whole microtubule, which itself consists of 13 protofilaments. Also, in magnetic resonance, a peak ...

Stokes radius

Biology; Biochemistry

On the assumption that it is a sphere, the apparent radius of a macromolecule in solution, as determined from its hydrodynamic behavior, i.e. intrinsic viscosity, diffusion or sedimentation ...

Blunt ended

Biology; Biochemistry

Descriptive of the structure of double-stranded DNA in which neither strand of the duplex extends further from the end than the other; often the product of cleavage by a restriction endonuclease.

Flush ended

Biology; Biochemistry

Descriptive of the structure of double-stranded DNA in which neither strand of the duplex extends further from the end than the other; often the product of cleavage by a restriction endonuclease.
