| markov chains | A stochastic process such that the conditional probability distribution for a state at any future instant, given the present state, is unaffected by any additional knowledge of the past history of the system. (12 Dec 1998) |

| myosin heavy chains | The heavy chains of the muscle protein myosin. Each molecule of myosin is composed of two heavy chains and two pairs of light chains. The heavy chains have a molecular weight of about 230 kD and each heavy chain is associated with a dissimilar pair of light chains. (devlin, textbook of biochemistry: with clinical correlations, 3rd ed, p957) (12 Dec 1998) |
