| data processing | Conversion of crude information into usable or storable form; statistical analysis of data by a computer program. (05 Mar 2000) |
| downstream processing | The various stages of processing that occur after the completion of the fermentation or bioconversion stage, including separation, purification, and packaging of the product. (14 Nov 1997) |
| image processing, computer-assisted | A technique of inputting two-dimensional images into a computer and then enhancing or analyzing the imagery into a form that is more useful to the human observer. (12 Dec 1998) |
| thylakoid processing peptidase | <enzyme> Signal type peptidase with stringent substrate requirements at the -3 and -1 positions; removes amino-terminal peptide extension which transports proteins across the thylakoid membrane Registry number: EC 3.4.99.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| tRNA 3'-processing endonuclease | <enzyme> Involved in processing precursor trna from eukaryotic nuclei and organelles between nucleotides 74 and 75 to give 3'c-oh Registry number: EC 3.1.27.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| extraction and processing industry | The industry concerned with the removal of raw materials from the earth's crust and with their conversion into refined products. (12 Dec 1998) |
| food-processing industry | The productive enterprises concerned with food processing. (12 Dec 1998) |
| acceptor RNA | rNA |
| antisense RNA | <molecular biology> A complementary RNA sequence that binds to (and thus blocks the transcription of) a naturally-occuring (sense) messenger RNA molecule. These proteins can be used to selectively turn off production of certain proteins or block viral genetic instructions, by marking them for destruction by cellular enzymes, in order to prevent the building of new virus or the infection of new cells. (09 Oct 1997) |
| bacteriophage T3 RNA polymerase | <enzyme> Used for the rapid generation of strand-specific RNA molecules that can be used for the identification of genes in hybridization experiments Registry number: EC 2.7.7.- Synonym: t3 RNA polymerase (26 Jun 1999) |
| cap II RNA(nucleoside-2'-)methyltransferase | <enzyme> Converts cap i-terminated mRNA to cap II-terminated mRNA Registry number: EC 2.1.1.- Synonym: cap II methylase (26 Jun 1999) |
| cap I RNA (nucleoside-2'-)methyltransferase | <enzyme> Converts cap 0-terminated mRNA to cap i-terminated mRNA Registry number: EC 2.1.1.- Synonym: cap I methylase (26 Jun 1999) |
| p68 RNA helicase | <enzyme> An RNA helicase isolated from uv-induced tumours in mice; amino acid sequence has been determined Registry number: EC 2.7.7.- Synonym: dead box helicase p68 (26 Jun 1999) |
| masked messenger RNA | <molecular biology> Long lived and stable mRNA found originally in the oocytes of echinoderms and constituting a store of maternal information for protein synthesis that is unmasked (derepressed) during the early stages of morphogenesis. In these early stages the rate of cell division is so rapid that transcription from the embryonic genome cannot occur. Undoubtedly not restricted to oocytes and the term can be applied to any mRNA which is present in inactive form. (18 Nov 1997) |
