Molecular biology

An animal host and carrier of a pathogen; e.g. the flea which transmits the bacterium Pasteurella pestis; also, a DNA molecule that can be replicated in a cell and that can serve as the vehicle for ...

Shape library

Biology; Biochemistry

An assortment of oligonucleotides, often of random sequence, some of which (or some of the encoded proteins of which) can bind to secondary structures of other oligonucleotides or proteins. The ...

Mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT)

Biology; Biochemistry

The disruption of normal mitochondrial function by opening of non-specific MPT pores (MPTPs). This allows the free diffusion of small molecules and ions and if prolonged, can lead to necrosis. ...

Electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR)

Biology; Biochemistry

A technique for detection of coupling between electrons and nuclei in order to gain information about the valance electron distribution around a paramagnetic nucleus; observation of an electron spin ...

Differential centrifugation

Biology; Biochemistry

The fractionation of subcellular components according to their sedimentation behavior; separation into nuclei, mitochondria, lysosomes, microsomes (endoplasmic reticulum), ribosomes, cytosol, etc. by ...

Blood group substances

Biology; Biochemistry

The oligosaccharide moieties of glycoproteins that appear in many biological fluids (saliva, urine, milk) as well as on the surface of erythrocytes. These antigens, upon reaction with specific ...

Molecular clock hypothesis

Biology; Biochemistry

The proposal, so far experimentally unverified, that mutations have occurred at random and at a constant frequency in all species throughout the billions of years of biochemical evolution. Successful ...
