| thick filament | <cell biology> Bipolar myosin II filaments (12-14nm diameter, 1.6m long) found in striated muscle. Myosin filaments elsewhere are often referred to as thick filaments, although their length may be considerably less. The myosin heads project from the thick filament in a regular fashion. There is a central bare zone without projecting heads, the core being formed from antiparallel arrays of LMM regions of the myosin heavy chains. Thick filaments will self assemble in vitro under the right ionic conditions. (18 Nov 1997) |

| thin filament | Filaments 7-9nm diameter attached to the Z discs of striated muscle, have opposite polarity in each half sarcomere. Built of F actin with associated tropomyosin and troponin. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Z filament | The thin zig-zag structure at the Z line of striated muscle fibres to which the actin filament's attach. (05 Mar 2000) |
| filament | See: thick filaments, thin filaments, intermediate filaments and microfilaments. (18 Nov 1997) |
| filament-nonfilament count | A differential count of the number of neutrophils showing nuclear division and those showing no such division. (05 Mar 2000) |
| filament polymorphonuclear leukocyte | Any mature polymorphonuclear leukocyte, especially a neutrophilic leukocyte, in which the lobes of the nucleus are interconnected with a thin strand or filament of chromatin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| absolute terminal innervation ratio | The number of motor endplates divided by the number of terminal axons related to them. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amino-terminal | <biochemistry> The end of a protein or polypeptide chain with the unattached amino group or the aminoacyl residue containing it. Each amino acid in the chain has an amino group on one side, which is attached to the carboxyl group (COOH group) of the previous amino acid, and a carboxyl group on the other side (which is attached to the amino group of the next amino acid). The other end of the polypeptide chain is called the carboxyl terminal. Synonym: NH2-terminal. (14 Aug 2000) |
| amino-terminal residue | <biochemistry> The only amino acid residue in a polypeptide chain that has a free alpha-amino group, it defines the amino terminus of the polypeptide. (09 Oct 1997) |
| axonal terminal boutons | The somewhat enlarged, often club-shaped endings by which axons make synaptic contacts with other nerve cells or with effector cells (muscle or gland cells). As isolated, by homogenizing brain or spinal cord, they contain acetylcholine and the related enzymes. Terminals contain neurotransmitters of various kinds, sometimes more than one. These can be demonstrated by chemical analysis and immunocytochemical methods. See: synapse. Synonym: axonal terminal boutons, end-feet, neuropodia, pieds terminaux, synaptic boutons, synaptic endings, synaptic terminals, terminal boutons, bouton terminaux. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carboxyl terminal | The end of a polypeptide chain with the unattached carboxyl group (a -COOH group). Each amino acid in the middle of the chain has an amino group (a -NH2 group) on one side (which is attached to the carboxyl group of the previous amino acid) and a carboxyl group on the other side (which is attached to the amino group of the next amino acid). The other end of the polypeptide chain is called the amino terminal. (09 Oct 1997) |
| carboxyl-terminal residue | This amino acid residue defines the carboxylterminus of the polypeptide, its the only residue with a free alpha-carboxyl group. (09 Oct 1997) |
| carboxy terminal | The end of a peptide or protein having a free carboxyl (-COOH) group. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carboxy-terminal domain kinase | <enzyme> Protein kinase that phosphorylates the c-terminal repeat domain of the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II at serine residues Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: ctd kinase, hs-ctd kinase, tfiih-associated ctd kinase (26 Jun 1999) |
| central terminal electrode | In electrocardiography, an electrode in which connections from the three limbs (right arm, left arm, and left leg) are joined and led to the electrocardiograph to form the indifferent electrode, theoretically at zero potential for the system. (05 Mar 2000) |
