| RNA processing | <molecular biology> Modifications of primary RNA trancripts including splicing, cleavage, base modification, capping and the addition of poly A tails. See: RNA editing. (23 Aug 1998) |
|---|---|
| RNA processing, post-transcriptional | Post-transcriptional biological modification of messenger, transfer, or ribosomal rnas or their precursors. It includes cleavage, methylation, thiolation, isopentenylation, pseudouridine formation, conformational changes, and association with ribosomal protein. (12 Dec 1998) |
| photosystem II D1 polypeptide carboxy-terminal processing protease | <enzyme> From thylakoids; not inhibited by common protease inhibitors Registry number: EC 3.4.99.- Synonym: d1 carboxy-terminal processing protease, d1 c-terminal protease, ctpa gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| word processing | Automated production of typewritten documents with text editing and storage functions using computer software. (12 Dec 1998) |
| continuous processing | A method of bioprocessing in which new materials are added and products removed continuously at a rate that maintains the volume at a specific level. (14 Nov 1997) |
| post-transcriptional processing | The enzymatic processing of the primary RNA transcript, which producesmessenger RNA and transfer RNA. (09 Oct 1997) |
| processing | 1. Posttranslational modification of proteins, particularly secretory proteins and proteins targeted for membranes or specific cellular locations. Synonym: trafficking. 2. Posttranscriptional modification of polynucleic acids. (05 Mar 2000) |
| protein processing, post-translational | Any of various enzymically catalyzed post-translational modifications of peptides or proteins in the cell of origin. These modifications include carboxylation, hydroxylation, acetylation, phosphorylation, methylation, glycosylation, oxidation-reduction, degradation and lysis, peptide bond formation, and changes in molecular weight and electrophoretic motility.

| signal processing, computer-assisted | Computer-assisted processing of electric, ultrasonic, or electronic signals to interpret function and activity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| natural language processing | Computer processing of a language with rules that reflect and describe current usage rather than prescribed usage. (12 Dec 1998) |
| stromal processing peptidase | <enzyme> Involved in processing chloroplast stromal proteins Registry number: EC 3.4.24.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| 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) |
