| induced enzyme | Inducible enzyme, an enzyme that can be detected in a growing culture of a microorganism, after the addition of a particular substance (inducer) to the culture medium, but was not detectable prior to the addition and can act on the inducer. A prototype is the beta-galactosidase of Escherichia coli, synthesised upon the addition of various galactosides, whether or not these are good substrates. Compare: constitutive enzyme. Synonym: adaptive enzyme. (05 Mar 2000) |

| induced fever | 1. Obsolete synonym for pyrotherapy. 2. Treatment of fever. Synonym: artificial fever, induced fever. Origin: pyreto-+ G. Therapeia, treatment (05 Mar 2000) |
| induced fit | A change in the conformation of an enzyme due to it binding to asubstrate that makes it catalyticallyactive. A situation where any molecule changes shape as it binds toa ligand so that its bindingsite more closely conforms to the shape of the ligand. (09 Oct 1997) |
| induced fit model | A model to suggest a mode of action of enzymes in which the substrate binds to the active site of the protein, causing a conformational change in the protein. Synonym: Koshland-Nemethy-Filmer model. (05 Mar 2000) |
| induced labour | <obstetrics> Labour that is brought about by artificial means. (12 Dec 1998) |
| induced mutation | A mutation caused by exposure to a mutagen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| induced phagocytosis | <cell biology> Phagocytosis occurring when bacteria subjected to the action of blood serum are brought in contact with leukocytes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| induced psychotic disorder | <psychiatry> A severe mental disorder brought about by a toxic agent such as a drug or hallucinogen. See: psychosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| induced radioactivity | artificial radioactivity |
| induced sensitivity | 1. <immunology> A state of hypersensitivity induced by exposure to a particular antigen (allergen) resulting in harmful immunologic reactions on subsequent exposures, the term is usually used to refer to hypersensitivity to an environmental antigen (atopic allergy or contact dermatitis) or to drug allergy. The original meaning, now obsolete, included all states of altered immunologic reactivity, immunity as well as hypersensitivity. Gell and Coombs used the term allergic reaction to mean any harmful immunologic reaction causing tissue injury. 2. <study> The medical specialty dealing with diagnosis and treatment of allergic disorders. (18 Nov 1997) |
| induced symptom | A symptom excited by a drug, exercise, or other means, often intentionally for diagnostic purposes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| induced trance | The artificially induced state of hypnosis or of somnambulistic trance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inducer | <molecular biology> An extracellular molecule that enters a cell and initiates transcriptionof a gene or operon. (09 Oct 1997) |
| inducer cell | <cell biology> Cells that induce other nearby cells to differentiate in specified pathways. Perhaps the distinction should be made, as of old, between those cells that evoke a predetermined pathway of differentiation in the target cells and those cells that can actually induce new and unexpected differentiations. (18 Nov 1997) |
| inducibly expressed GTPase | <enzyme> Regulated by interferon gamma; contains three consensus GTP-binding motifs. Registry number: EC 3.6.1.- Synonym: igtp protein, igtp gene product (26 Jun 1999) |

| independent variable |
Any of those variables of a problem, chosen according to convenience, that may arbitrarily be specified, and that then determine the other or dependent variables of the problem. The independent variables are often called the coordinates, particularly in problems involving motion in space. Dependent and independent variables can be interchanged, for example, height and pressure.

| indicator |
(Sometimes called display.) An instrument used to reveal but not necessarily measure the presence of an electrical quantity. It is used to display the output of a sensing element after suitable amplification and modification. In radar the term is used to refer to the cathode-ray oscilloscopes, or other recording devices, where the echoes returned from targets are presented visually or graphically. See radarscope.
