| excision repair | <molecular biology> Mechanism for the repair of environmental damage to one strand of DNA (loss of purines due to thermal fluctuations, formation of pyrimidine dimers by UV irradiation). The site of damage is recognised, excised by an endonuclease, the correct sequence is copied from the complementary strand by a polymerase and the ends of this correct sequence are joined to the rest of the strand by a ligase. The term is sometimes restricted to bacterial systems where the polymerase also acts as endonuclease. (11 Nov 1997) |

| vectorial synthesis | <cell biology> Term usually applied to the mode of synthesis of proteins destined for export from the cell. As the protein is made it moves (vectorially) through the membrane of the rough endoplasmic reticulum, to which the ribosome is attached and into the cisternal space. (06 Mar 2000) |
| gene synthesis | <molecular biology> The complete synthesis of a gene using a DNA synthesiser (gene machine), or the assembly of oligonucleotides so synthesised into a synthetic gene, as opposed to cloning. (14 Nov 1997) |
| cell-free protein synthesis | <technique> An in vitro method to make proteins, using amino acids, the mRNA corresponding to the protein to be made, and a cell-free extract (the contents of a cell after removal of the cell wall and/or outer cell membranes) for other needed components and enzymes. (26 Mar 1998) |
| cellular immunodeficiency with abnormal immunoglobulin synthesis | An ill-defined group of sporadic disorders of unknown cause, occurring in both males and females and associated with recurrent bacterial, fungal, protozoal, and viral infections; there is thymic hypoplasia with depressed cellular (T-lymphocyte) immunity combined with defective humoral (B-lymphocyte) immunity, although immunoglobulin levels may be normal. Synonym: Nezelof syndrome, Nezelof type of thymic alymphoplasia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Merrifield synthesis | The synthesis of peptides and proteins via an automated system on carrier polymers. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chiral synthesis | <chemistry> The production of chiral compounds in only one enantiomer, or handedness. (See chirality) (05 Jan 1998) |
| coordinated enzyme synthesis | The regulatory mechanism where an entire group of different enzymes, all of which play a part in the same metabolic process, is synthesised at the same time. This comes about because the chemical signal to begin synthesis of each enzyme is the same for all of them. (09 Oct 1997) |
| protein synthesis | The process in which individual amino acids, whether of exogenous or endogenous origin, are connected to each other in peptide linkage in a specific order dictated by the sequence of nucleotides in DNA; this governing sequence is conveyed to the synthesizing apparatus in the ribosomes by mRNA, formed by base-pairing on the DNA template. (05 Mar 2000) |
| protein synthesis inhibitor | Compounds which inhibit the synthesis of proteins. They are usually antibiotics or toxins. Mechanism of the action of inhibition includes the interruption of peptide-chain elongation, the blocking the the a site of ribosomes, the misreading of the genetic code or the prevention of the attachment of oligosaccharide side chains to glycoproteins. (12 Dec 1998) |
| nucleic acid synthesis inhibitors | Compounds that inhibit cell production of DNA or RNA. (12 Dec 1998) |
| synthesis | 1. <biochemistry, chemistry> The artificial building up of a chemical compound, by the union of its elements or from other suitable starting materials. 2. <psychiatry> The integration of the various elements of the personality, the opposite of analysis. Origin: Gr. = a putting together, composition (19 Jan 1998) |
| synthesis of continuity | Healing of the edges of a wound or fracture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| synthesis period | The period of the cell cycle when there is synthesis of DNA and histone; it occurs between Gap1 and Gap2. Synonym: S phase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| DNA synthesis | <molecular biology> The linking together of nucleotides (as deoxyribonucleotide triphosphates) to form DNA. In vivo, most synthesis is DNA replication, but incorporation of precursors also occurs in repair. In the special case of retroviruses, DNA synthesis is directed by an RNA template (see reverse transcriptase). (18 Nov 1997) |
