| complementary strands | <molecular biology> Two single strands of DNA in which the nucleotide sequence is such that they will bind as a result of base pairing throughout their full length. (05 Jan 1998) |
| complementary structures | Structures that define one another; e.g., the two strands of duplex DNA. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sequence, complementary | Nucleic acid sequence of bases that can form a double- stranded structure by matching base pairs. For example, the complementary sequence to c-a-t-g (where each letter stands for one of the bases in DNA) is g-t-a-c. (12 Dec 1998) |
| DNA, complementary | Single-stranded complementary DNA synthesised from an RNA template by the action of RNA-dependent DNA polymerase. Cdna (i.e., complementary DNA, not circular DNA, not c-DNA) is used in a variety of molecular cloning experiments as well as serving as a specific hybridization probe. (12 Dec 1998) |
| acid-base balance | The normal balance between acid and base in the blood plasma, expressed in the hydrogen ion concentration or pH, resulting from the relative amounts of acidic and basic materials ingested and produced by body metabolism, compared to the relative amounts of acidic and basic materials excreted from the body and consumed by body metabolism; the normal state of acid-base balance is not one of neutrality, with equal concentrations of hydrogen and hydroxyl ions, but a more alkaline state with a certain excess of hydroxyl ions. Synonym: acid-base equilibrium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acid-base equilibrium | A condition in which the net rate of acid or alkali production by the body is balanced by the net rate of acid or alkali excretion from the body, resulting in a stable concentration of hydrogen ions in the body fluids. (12 Dec 1998) |
| acid-base imbalance | Disturbances in the acid-base equilibrium of the body. (12 Dec 1998) |
| acrylic resin base | A form made of acrylic resin molded to conform to the tissues of the alveolar process and used to support the teeth of a prosthesis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aldehyde base | An obsolete term for an imide. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior cranial base | The portion of the internal base of the skull, anterior to the sphenoidal ridges and limbus, in which the frontal lobes of the brain rest. Synonym: fossa cranii anterior, anterior cranial base. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bandrowski's base | <chemical> Reported cause of anaphylactic reaction. Synonym: n',n'-bis(4-aminophenyl)-2,5-diamino-1,4-quinonediimine (26 Jun 1999) |
| base | <chemistry> The nonacid part of a salt, a substance that combines with acids to form salts, a substance that dissociates to give hydroxide ions in aqueous solutions, a substance whose molecule or ion can combine with a proton (hydrogen ion), a substance capable of donating a pair of electrons (to an acid) for the formation of a coordinate covalent bond. (13 Nov 1997) |
| base analogue | <biochemistry> A chemical which resembles a nucleotide base. They can substitute the Purine and pyrimidine bases that normally appear in DNA, despite minor differences in structure. May be used for inducing mutations, including point mutations. For example: 5 bromouracil can replace thymine or 2 aminopurine replace adenine. (13 Nov 1997) |
| base composition | <biochemistry> In reference to nucleic acid, the proportion of the total bases consisting of guanine plus cytosine or thymine plus adenine base pairs. Usually expressed as a guanine + cytosine (G+C) value, for example 60% G+C. (09 Oct 1997) |
