1Intrinsically unstructured proteins — An ensemble of NMR structures of the Thylakoid soluble phosphoprotein TSP9, which shows a largely flexible protein chain.[1] Intrinsically unstructured proteins, often referred to as naturally unfolded proteins or disordered proteins, are… …
2DNA, RNA and proteins: The three essential macromolecules of life — All living organisms are dependent on three types of very large molecules for essentially all of their biological functions. These molecules are DNA, RNA and proteins, and are classified as biological macromolecules.[1] Without DNA, RNA and… …
3Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of proteins — (usually abbreviated protein NMR) is a field of structural biology in which NMR spectroscopy is used to obtain information about the structure and dynamics of proteins. The field was pioneered by Richard R. Ernst and Kurt Wüthrich[1], among… …
4protein — proteinaceous /proh tee nay sheuhs, tee i nay /, proteinic, proteinous, adj. /proh teen, tee in/, n. 1. Biochem. any of numerous, highly varied organic molecules constituting a large portion of the mass of every life form and necessary in the… …
5Molecular graphics — (MG) is the discipline and philosophy of studying molecules and their properties through graphical representation.[1] IUPAC limits the definition to representations on a graphical display device .[2] Ever since Dalton s atoms and Kekulé s benzene …
6histone — One of a number of simple proteins (often found in the cell nucleus) that contains a high proportion of basic amino acid s, are soluble in water, dilute acids, and alkalies, and are not coagulable by heat; e.g., the proteins associated with …
7globulin — Name for a family of proteins precipitated from plasma (or serum) by half saturation with ammonium sulfate ( i.e., addition of an equal volume of saturated ammonium sulfate). Globulins may be further fractionated by solubility, electrophoresis,… …
8histone — /his tohn/, n. Biochem. any of a group of five small basic proteins, occurring in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, that organize DNA strands into nucleosomes by forming molecular complexes around which the DNA winds. [1880 85; HIST + ONE] * * *… …
9protamine — Any of a class of proteins, highly basic because rich in l arginine and simpler in constitution than the albumins and globulins, etc., found in fish spermatozoa in combination with nucleic acid; the protamines have a histonelike function and are… …
10History of biotechnology — Biotechnology is the application of scientific and engineering principles to the processing of materials by biological agents to provide goods and services. [Bud, The Uses of Life , p. 1] From its inception, biotechnology has maintained a close… …
