| acceptor splicing site | Boundary between the right end of an intron and the left end of the adjacent exon. Synonym: acceptor splicing site. (05 Mar 2000) |

| acceptor site | The ribosomal binding site for the aminoacyl-tRNA during protein synthesis. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| acceptor | A compound that will take up a chemical group (e.g., an amine group, a methyl group, a carbamoyl group) from another compound (the donor); under the action of alanine transaminase, l-glutamic acid is an amine donor while pyruvic acid is an amine acceptor. Origin: L. Ac-cipio, pp. -ceptus, to accept (05 Mar 2000) |
| acceptor control | <biochemistry> The regulation of the respiration rate, governed by ADP's ability to be a phosphate group acceptor. (06 May 1997) |
| acceptor RNA | rNA |
| alcohol dehydrogenase (acceptor) | An oxidoreductase that reversibly converts primary alcohols to aldehydes with an H acceptor other than NADP+. (05 Mar 2000) |
| phenylglyoxylate - acceptor oxidoreductase | <enzyme> Requires coenzyme a; converts phenylglyoxylate to benzoyl-CoA with release of co2 Registry number: EC 1.2.99.- Synonym: phenylglyoxylate oxidoreductase (acylating) (26 Jun 1999) |
| proton acceptor | <chemistry> A base, an anionic substance that acceptsa proton during an acid-basereaction. (09 Oct 1997) |
| hydrogen acceptor | A molecule that, in conjunction with a tissue enzyme system, carries hydrogen from one metabolite (oxidant) to another (reductant) or to molecular oxygen to form H2O. Synonym: hydrogen acceptor. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dimethylsulfide - acceptor oxidoreductase | <enzyme> Contains b-type haem and pterin molybdenum cofactor; distinct from dimethylsulfoxide reductase; mw 152 kD; from rhodobacter sulfidophilus Registry number: EC 1.8.99.- Synonym: me2so-acceptor oxidoreductase, molybdenum oxotransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| electron acceptor | <chemistry> A molecule or compound that gets electrons during an oxidation-reduction reaction. (19 Jan 1998) |
| L-sorbose-(acceptor) 5-oxidoreductase | <enzyme> Fad-dependent enzyme that catalyses conversion of l-sorbose to l-sorbosone; 58-kD membrane protein in gluconobacter oxydans Registry number: EC 1.1.99.12 Synonym: l-sorbose dehydrogenase, sdh enzyme (26 Jun 1999) |
| alternative mRNA splicing | Splicing different exons in or out of messenger RNA to form different mRNA transcripts. (09 Oct 1997) |
| alternative splicing | A process whereby multiple protein isoforms are generated from a single gene. Alternative splicing involves the splicing together of nonconsecutive exons during the processing of some, but not all, transcripts of the gene. Thus a particular exon may be connected to any one of several alternative exons to form messenger RNA. The alternative forms produce proteins in which one part is common while the other part is different. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gene splicing | A procedure by which one DNA molecule or fragment can be attached to another. (14 Nov 1997) |
| right splicing junction | Boundary between the right end of an intron and the left end of the adjacent exon. Synonym: acceptor splicing site. (05 Mar 2000) |
