31Biochemistry of Alzheimer's disease — The biochemistry of Alzheimer s disease (AD), one of the most common causes of adult dementia, is as yet not well understood at the molecular level. It has been identified as a protein misfolding disease due to the accumulation of abnormally… …
32Förster resonance energy transfer — (abbreviated FRET), also known as Fluoresence resonance energy transfer or resonance energy transfer (RET), describes an energy transfer mechanism between two chromophores. A donor chromophore in its excited state can transfer energy by a… …
33Channelrhodopsin — Channelrhodopsins are a subfamily of opsin proteins that function as light gated ion channels.[1] They serve as sensory photoreceptors in unicellular green algae, controlling phototaxis, i.e. movement in response to light. Expressed in cells of… …
34Hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers — At the beginning of 20th century excellent work of Landsteiner and co authors combine with significant progress in fields of heart and circulation physiology initiated development of modern transfusion medicine allowing that blood transfusion… …
35model — 1. A representation of something, often idealized or modified to make it conceptually easier to understand. 2. Something to be imitated. 3. In dentistry, a cast. 4. A mathematical representation of a particular phenomenon. 5. An animal that is… …
36Dual polarization interferometry — (DPI) is an analytical technique that can probe molecular scale layers adsorbed to the surface of a waveguide by using the evanescent wave of a laser beam confined to the waveguide. Typically used to measure the conformational change in proteins… …
37Cell surface receptor — The seven transmembrane α helix structure of a G protein coupled receptor Cell surface receptors (membrane receptors, transmembrane receptors) are specialized integral membrane proteins that take part in communication between the cell and the… …
38Haemoglobin-based oxygen carriers — Hemoglobin based oxygen carriers are one of two main types of oxygen carrying blood substitutes in development, the other one being perfluorocarbon emulsions. As of June 2008 there are no haemoglobin based oxygen carriers or perfluorocarbon… …
39Adenylate kinase — 3D ribbon/surface model of adenylate kinase in complex with bis(adenosine)teraphosphate (ADP ADP) Identifiers Symbol ADK …
40Cyclol — Figure 1: In the classic cyclol reaction, two peptide groups are linked by a N C’ bond, converting the carbonyl oxygen into a hydroxyl group. Although this reaction occurs in a few cyclic peptides, it is disfavored by free energy, mainly because… …
