| a-form DNA | <molecular biology> One of several forms that can be assumed by a double helix. A-DNA is stable in dehydrated conditions. This form is less common than the dominant form found under physiological conditions -- beta-DNA. This form is also assumed by DNA-RNA hybrid helices and by regions of double-stranded RNA. It is a right-handed helix and is a more compact form than beta-DNA. (09 Oct 1997) |
| boat form | The less stable of two conformations assumed by 6-membered cyclic sugars (pyranoses) or cyclohexane derivatives, as opposed to chair form. See: Haworth conformational formulas of cyclic sugars. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cavity preparation form | The configuration or shape of a cavity preparation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| replicative form | An intermediate stage in the replication of either DNA or RNA viral genomes that is usually double stranded, the altered, double-stranded form to which single-stranded coliphage DNA is converted after infection of a susceptible bacterium, formation of the complementary ("minus") strand being mediated by enzymes that were present in the bacterium before entrance of the viral ("plus") strand. (05 Mar 2000) |
| resistance form | The shape given to a cavity preparation that enables the dental restoration to withstand masticatory forces. (05 Mar 2000) |
| retention form | The shape of a cavity preparation that prevents displacement of the dental restoration by lateral or tipping forces as well as masticatory forces. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chair form | The more stable of two conformations assumed by 6-membered cyclic sugars (e.g., the pyranoses) or cyclohexane derivatives, as opposed to boat form. See: Haworth conformational formulas of cyclic sugars. (05 Mar 2000) |
| wave form | The form of a pulse; e.g., an arterial pressure or displacement wave; or of the pacemaker pulse as demonstrated on the oscilloscope under a specified load. Synonym: waveshape. (05 Mar 2000) |
| wax form | A pattern of wax that, when invested and burned out or otherwise eliminated, will produce a mold in which a casting may be made. Synonym: wax form. (05 Mar 2000) |
| convenience form | The changes needed outside the basic outline form to enable proper instrumentation for the cavity preparation and insertion of a dental restoration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| myocardial infarction in dumbbell form | Infarction involving the septum along with both inferior and anterior walls to make an H-or dumbbell-shaped configuration. Synonym: Roesler-Bressler infarct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior tooth form | The distinguishing contours of the occlusal surface of the various posterior teeth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| half-chair form | See: Haworth conformational formulas of cyclic sugars. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sickle form | The male or female gametocyte(s) of Plasmodium falciparum, whose presence in human red blood cells is diagnostic of falciparum malaria. Synonym: crescent, sickle form. Myopic crescent, a white or grayish white crescentic area in the fundus of the eye located on the temporal side of the optic disk; caused by atrophy of the choroid, permitting the sclera to become visible. Synonym: myopic conus. Sublingual crescent, the crescent-shaped area on the floor of the mouth formed by the lingual wall of the mandible and the adjacent part of the floor of the mouth.
