| matrix retainer | A mechanical device designed to hold a matrix around a tooth during restorative procedures, usually by engaging the ends of the matrix band and drawing the band tight. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| matrix unguis | The area of the corium on which the nail rests; it is extremely sensitive and presents numerous longitudinal ridges on its surface. According to some anatomists, the nail bed is the portion covered by the body of the nail, the nail matrix being only the part on which the root of the nail rests. Synonym: matrix unguis, keratogenous membrane, nail matrix, onychostroma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| viral matrix proteins | Proteins associated with the inner surface of the lipid bilayer of the viral envelope. These proteins have been implicated in control of viral transcription and may possibly serve as the "glue" that binds the nucleocapsid to the appropriate membrane site during viral budding from the host cell. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cell matrix | A fluid cytoplasmic substance filling the interstices of the cytoskeleton. Synonym: cell matrix, cytomatrix. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membrane-type 3 matrix metalloproteinase | <enzyme> Sm3 is a soluble form of mt3-mmp, probably an alternatively sliced variant. Registry number: EC 3.4.24.- Synonym: mt3-mmp, sm3-mmp (26 Jun 1999) |
| membrane-type 4 matrix metalloproteinase | <enzyme> Cloned from breast carcinoma. Registry number: EC 3.4.24.- Synonym: mt4-mmp, mmp-17 gene product, mmp-17 (26 Jun 1999) |
| membrane-type matrix metalloproteinase | <enzyme> Activates gelatinase a; isolated from a human placenta cdna gene library; contains a transmembrane domain; do not use for any other numbered matrix metalloproteinases; genbank d26512 Registry number: EC 3.4.24.- Synonym: mt-mmp, mmp-x1 protein, matrix metalloproteinase, membrane-type, mmp14 gene product, mmp-14 gene product, mt1-mmp, matrix metalloproteinase 14, mt2-mmp, mmp15 gene product, mmp16 gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| groove of nail matrix | The cutaneous furrow in which the lateral border of the nail is situated. Synonym: groove of nail matrix, vallecula unguis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mitochondrial matrix | The substance occupying the space enclosed by the inner membrane of a mitochondrion; it contains enzymes, filaments of DNA, ribosomes, granules, and inclusions of protein crystals, glycogen, and lipid. Synonym: mitochondrial matrix. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cytoplasmic matrix | A fluid cytoplasmic substance filling the interstices of the cytoskeleton. Synonym: cell matrix, cytomatrix. (05 Mar 2000) |
| soil matrix | The portion of a given soil having the dominant colour, in most cases, the matrix will be the portion of the soil having more than 50 percent of the same colour. (09 Oct 1997) |
| SP220K cell surface matrix proteinase | <enzyme> Inactive form has guanidinobenzoatase activity; active form has gelatinolytic activity Registry number: EC 3.4.21.- Synonym: sp220k enzyme (26 Jun 1999) |
| spectrometry, mass, matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization | A mass spectrometric technique that is used for the analysis of large biomolecules. Analyte molecules are embedded in an excess matrix of small organic molecules that show a high resonant absorption at the laser wavelength used. The matrix absorbs the laser energy, thus inducing a soft disintegration of the sample-matrix mixture into free (gas phase) matrix and analyte molecules and molecular ions. In general, only molecular ions of the analyte molecules are produced, and almost no fragmentation occurs. This makes the method well suited for molecular weight determinations and mixture analysis.

According to some anatomists, the nail bed is the portion covered by the body of the nail, the nail matrix being only the part on which the root of the nail rests. Synonym: matrix unguis, keratogenous membrane, nail matrix, onychostroma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| square matrix | A matrix in which the numbers of rows and columns are equal. (05 Mar 2000) |
