Pulsed amperimetric detection (PAD)

Biology; Biochemistry

A method for detection of chromatographic eluates, especially oligosaccharides, not easily detected by other means; a cycle of less than 1s first applies a voltage across the eluate, adsorbs the ...

Quantitative PCR (QPCR)

Biology; Biochemistry

A method for quantification of a polynucleotide by inclusion with it of a known amount of an easily distinguished template as an internal standard to compensate for variation in efficiency of ...

A method for observation of the control of bivalent cation flux across the plasma membrane of a cell. Mn 2+ is used in place of Ca 2+ because, unlike Ca 2+ , it does not accumulate in intracellular ...

Simulated annealing

Biology; Biochemistry

An energy minimization technique to refine a model structure, e.g. an X-ray crystallographic or nuclear magnetic resonance model, by simulation of heating it to a high temperature to break all ...

Sugar

Biology; Biochemistry

A simple carbohydrate that consists of a chain of carbon atoms, one of which is a carbonyl carbon (aldehyde or ketone), while the others bear hydroxy groups to give it the basic formula (CH 2 O) n , ...

Nomogram

Biology; Biochemistry

The presentation of three parallel linear or non-linear scales of related values aligned so that a straight line between desired points on two of the scales also crosses the third scale at the ...

Myosin

Biology; Biochemistry

A family of actin-dependent motor proteins. Classical myosins assemble to form bipolar filaments that bridge actin filaments. Motor activity causes sliding of the myosin along the filaments. Sliding ...
