| cysteine string protein | <protein> (CSPs) Peripheral membrane proteins that contain more than 10 palmitoylated cysteines and a DNA J homology domain. Nature 375:647 (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| cysteine sulfinate desulfinase | <enzyme> Catalyses removal of elemental sulfur and selenium atoms from cysteine, cystine, selenocysteine and selenocystine to produce l-alanine. Registry number: EC 4.4.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| cysteine sulfinic acid | -O2S-CH2CH (NH3)+COO-;a natural oxidation product of cysteine; an intermediate in the formation of taurine (via cysteic acid). (05 Mar 2000) |
| cysteine synthase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the biosynthesis of cysteine in microorganisms and plants from o-acetyl-l-serine and hydrogen sulfide. Chemical name: O(3)-Acetyl-L-serine acetate-lyase (adding hydrogen sulfide) Registry number: EC 4.2.99.8 (12 Dec 1998) |
| Onchocerca volvulus L3 cysteine protease | <enzyme> Required for molting of o. Volvulus third stage larvae; genbank u71150 Registry number: EC 3.4.22.- Synonym: cysteine protease l3, o volvulus, lovcp (26 Jun 1999) |
| L-cysteine-cystine C-S lyase | <enzyme> C-des - cysteine desulfhydrase; a pyridoxal phosphate- containing enzyme from synechocystis involved information of fe-s cluster of ferredoxin; catalyses the breakdown of l-cysteine to yield sulfide, pyruvate and ammonia; increased activity with cystine, yielding cysteine persulfide as the primary product; mw about 43 kD Registry number: EC 4.4.1.- Synonym: c-des lyase (26 Jun 1999) |
| vaccines, conjugate | Semisynthetic vaccines consisting of polysaccharide antigens from microorganisms attached to protein carrier molecules. The carrier protein is recognised by macrophages and T-cells thus enhancing immunity. Conjugate vaccines induce antibody formation in people not responsive to polysaccharide alone, induce higher levels of antibody, and show a booster response on repeated injection. (12 Dec 1998) |
| wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase conjugate | <chemical> The lectin wheatgerm agglutinin conjugated to the enzyme horseradish peroxidase. It is widely used for tracing neural pathways. Pharmacological action: molecular probes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| conjugate | Paired together. In chemistry, this refers to an acid and a base which can convert to each other by the gain or loss of a proton (a hydrogen nucleus), which together are called a conjugate acid-base pair. It can also refer to two liquids in equilibrium with each other. In mycology (the study of fungi), this refers to a dikaryon with two haploid nuclei in it. (09 Oct 1997) |
| conjugate acid | The protonated compound of two compounds that differ in structure only by the presence of the labile proton. (05 Mar 2000) |
| conjugate acid-base pair | In prototonic solvents (e.g., H2O, NH3, acetic acid), two molecular species differing only in the presence or absence of a hydrogen ion (e.g., carbonic acid/bicarbonate ion or ammonium ion/ammonia); the basis of buffer action. (05 Mar 2000) |
| conjugate axis | Distance from the promontory of the sacrum to the upper posterior edge of the pubic symphysis. Synonym: anteroposterior diameter of the pelvic inlet, conjugata vera, conjugate axis, conjugate diameter of pelvic inlet, diameter mediana, internal conjugate, true conjugate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| conjugate deviation of the eyes | Rotation of the eyes equally and simultaneously in the same direction, as occurs normally, a condition in which both eyes are turned to the same side as a result of either paralysis or muscular spasm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| conjugate diameter of pelvic inlet | Distance from the promontory of the sacrum to the upper posterior edge of the pubic symphysis. Synonym: anteroposterior diameter of the pelvic inlet, conjugata vera, conjugate axis, conjugate diameter of pelvic inlet, diameter mediana, internal conjugate, true conjugate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| conjugate diameter of pelvic outlet | The distance from the tip of the coccyx to the lower edge of the pubic symphysis. See: obstetric conjugate of pelvic outlet. Synonym: conjugate diameter of pelvic outlet. (05 Mar 2000) |
