| 영문 | nucleic acid | 한글 | 핵산 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 염기, 당, 인산으로 이루어진 뉴클레오티드가 긴 사슬 모양으로 중합된 고분자 물질. 유전이나 단백질 합성을 지배하는 중요한 물질로, 생물의 증식을 비롯한 생명 활동 유지에 중요한 작용을 한다. 구성 당인 오탄당이 리보오스인 리보핵산과 디옥시리보오스인 디옥시리보 핵산으로 나뉜다. 펜토스로서 리보스나 데옥시리보스 어느 한쪽만을 포함하며 전자를 리보핵산(RNA), 후자를 데옥시리보핵산(deoxyribonucleic acid, DNA)이라 부른다. 모두 4종류의 유기염기에 의해 특징지어지며 아데닌, 구아닌 및 시토신은 양자에 공통이다. 티민은 DNA에, 우라실은 RNA에 포함된다. DNA는 주로 핵에 존재하며 형질유전에 그리고 RNA는 세포질속에서 단백질 합성에 관여한다. 섭취된 핵산은 소화관에서 구성분자로까지 가수분해되어 흡수된다. |

| gel | Jelly like material formed by the coagulation of a colloidal liquid. Many gels have a fibrous matrix and fluid filled interstices: gels are viscoelastic rather than simply viscous and can resist some mechanical stress without deformation. Examples are the gels formed by large molecules such as collagen (and gelatin), agarose, acrylamide and starch. (18 Nov 1997) |

| gel diffusion | Diffusion in a gel, as in the case of gel diffusion precipitin tests in which the immune reactants diffuse in agar. See: immunodiffusion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gel diffusion precipitin tests | Precipitin test's in which the immune precipitate forms in a gel medium (usually agar) into which one or both reactants have diffused; generally classified in two types, in one dimension, and in two dimensions. Synonym: gel diffusion reactions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gel diffusion precipitin tests in one dimension | Precipitin test's in which antigen solution and antibody incorporated in agar are layered in tubes, permitting effective diffusion in the vertical dimension; the antibody-containing agar may be overlaid directly with antigen solution (single (gel) diffusion in one dimension). (05 Mar 2000) |
| gel diffusion precipitin tests in two dimensions | Precipitin test's made in a layer of agar that permits radial diffusion, in both of the horizontal dimensions, of one or both reactants. Double (gel) diffusion in two dimensions (Ouchterlony test, technique, or method) incorporates antigen and antibody solutions placed in separate wells in a sheet of plain agar, permitting radial diffusion of both reactants; this method is widely used to determine antigenic relationships; the bands of precipitate that form where the reactants meet in optimal concentration are of three patterns, referred to as reaction of identity, reaction of partial identity (cross-reaction), and reaction of nonidentity.

| gel electrophoresis | <molecular biology> Electrophoresis using a gel supporting phase. Usually applied to systems where the gel is based on polyacrylamide. See: electrophoresis. (05 May 1997) |
| gel exclusion chromatography | <investigation> A lab technique, a type of column chromatography, used to separate the components of a mixture by molecular size and to collect the molecules which are larger than a certain size. It is similar to gel filtration, small molecules are slowed or trapped by the pores in the gel beads filling the column, while large molecules, too large to fit into the pores, slide past the beads and get to the bottom of the column first. at this point, the large molecules are collected. Gel exclusion refers to the maximum size of molecule which will fit into the gel bead pores, and this lab technique is used to collect the molecules in the mixture which are larger than, or excluded from, the pores. (09 Oct 1997) |
| gel filtration | <molecular biology> An important method for separating molecules according to molecular size by percolating the solution through beads of solvent permeated polymer that has pores of similar size to the solvent molecules. Unlike a continous filter that retards flow according to molecular size, separation is achieved because molecules that can enter the beads take a longer path (i.e. Are retarded) than those that cannot. Typical gels for protein separation are made from polyacrylamide or from flexible (Sephadex) or rigid (agarose, Sepharose) sugar polymers. The size separation range is determined by the degree of cross linking of the gel. (05 May 1997) |
| gel filtration chromatography | See: gel filtration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gel retardation assay | A lab technique used to find out if there are proteins binding a fragment of DNA (in a DNA-protein complex) by watching how fast the DNA fragment moves through an electric field and seeing whether it moves slower when a particular protein is also present. (09 Oct 1997) |
| gel structure | Brush heap structure of fibrils giving firmness to hydrocolloids. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gel transfer | Any lab technique used to transfer substances which had been separated using gel electrophoresis from the gel to a membrane for further processing or analysis. For example: any type of blotting. (09 Oct 1997) |
| pharmacopeial gel | A suspension, in a water medium, of an insoluble drug in hydrated form wherein the particle size approaches or attains colloidal dimensions. (05 Mar 2000) |
