The concentration of 1 mole per litre; 1 mole being Avogadro's number (6.02 x 10 23 ) of molecules, which is equivalent in mass to the sum of the atomic masses (in grams) of the constituent atoms; ...

Entropy effect

Biology; Biochemistry

The acceleration of a reaction that occurs when reactive groups are constrained in a productive orientation, either intermolecularly, as on an enzyme surface, or intramolecularly as in a model ...

Genomic mismatch scanning (GMS)

Biology; Biochemistry

A method to detect and isolate DNA sequences that are candidate genes for inherited disorders for which the gene product is unknown, based on the absence of mismatches in DNA sequences between an ...

Guide RNA (gRNA)

Biology; Biochemistry

A transcript of maxicircle or minicircle DNA, that in lower eukaryotes is thought to function in RNA editing, i.e. by the addition or deletion of U residues at specific sites in the coding regions of ...

Telomere

Biology; Biochemistry

The structure at the end of a eukaryotic chromosome formed by the DNA strand of the chromosome being extended by the enzyme telomerase, which is present in germ-line and cancer cells, and which adds ...

Xenoduplex analysis

Biology; Biochemistry

A method of comparative gene mapping, in which PCR fragments from a species in which the gene sequence is known, forms an interspecies hybrid, a xenoduplex, with a PCR fragment from a species in ...

Eukaryote

Biology; Biochemistry

Common name of a member of the Eucarya, one of the three domains of living organisms that are classified according to rRNA sequence homologies; they are further characterised by cells containing ...
