Molecular biology

A control mechanism for a branched metabolic pathway. The end product of each branch inhibits the first enzymic step of its own branch, which results in an accumulation of the last metabolite of the ...

Ezrin/radixin/moesin-binding phosphoprotein 50

Biology; Biochemistry

An adaptor protein that localises at the apical region of epithelial cells. Ezrin/radixin/moesin-binding phosphoprotein 50 (EBP50) is required for the recruitment of active phosphorylated ERM ...

Electropermeabilization

Biology; Biochemistry

A technique for the introduction of materials into an intact cell. Cells are subjected to a strong electric field which causes them to become temporarily permeable and thus take up molecules from ...

Two-dimensional electrophoresis

Biology; Biochemistry

Electrophoretic separation of proteins on a solid support by one technique in one dimension, then by another technique in another. For example, proteins are subjected to isoelectric focusing in a ...

Killer yeast

Biology; Biochemistry

A yeast that secretes a protein toxin that affects other organisms, including other yeasts. The best studied examples are toxins secreted by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The yeast contains a dsRNA virus ...

Nested deletion sequencing

Biology; Biochemistry

A method for extension of the length of a target DNA that can be sequenced using a single primer. Removal by an appropriate nuclease of varying polydeoxynucleotide lengths from the region near the ...

Meta-

Biology; Biochemistry

A prefix derived from the Greek for with or after, which indicates association or intermediacy. In benzene derivatives, meta- signifies the relation of substances on nuclear carbon atoms two removed ...
