| inductive current drive | <physics> Method to drive current in a toroidal plasma by using the torus of conducting plasma as the second coil in a transformer. The primary coil usually runs down the centre of the torus, changes in the current driven through the primary coil create changing magnetic fields which drive current in the plasma. The current thus driven can be used to heat the plasma as well (see also ohmic heating, induction). (09 Oct 1997) |

| Tesla current | An alternating electric current having a frequency of 10,000 or more per second; it produces no muscular contractions and does not affect the sensory nerves. Synonym: d'Arsonval current, Tesla current. (05 Mar 2000) |
| eddy current | <radiobiology> Electric current induced inside a conductor when the conductor (a) moves through a nonuniform magnetic field, or (b) experiences a change in the magnetic flux through its surface. (09 Oct 1997) |
| eddy-current loss | <radiobiology> Energy loss due to eddy currents circulating in a resistive material. (09 Oct 1997) |
| toroidal current | <radiobiology> Current flowing in the toroidal direction (the long way) around a torus. (As distinct from poloidal currents flowing through the centre of the torus and around to the outside, the short way.) (09 Oct 1997) |
| labile current | An electrical current applied to the body by means of electrodes that are constantly shifted about. (05 Mar 2000) |
| relative molecular mass | The sum of the atomic weight's of all the atoms constituting a molecule; the mass of a molecule relative to the mass of a standard atom, now 12C (taken as 12.000). Relative molecular mass (Mr) is the mass relative to the dalton and has no units. See: atomic weight. Synonym: molecular mass, molecular weight ratio, relative molecular mass. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gram-molecular weight | Molecular weight expressed in grams. Compare: mole. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cloning, molecular | The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| models, molecular | Models used experimentally or theoretically to study molecular shape, electronic properties, or interactions; includes analogous molecules, computer-generated graphics, and mechanical structures. (12 Dec 1998) |
| molecular | <chemistry> Of, pertaining to or composed of molecules: a very small mass of matter. (18 Nov 1997) |
| molecular behaviour | <psychology> Behaviour described in small response units rather than larger ones; a specific response. Compare: molar behaviour. (05 Mar 2000) |
| molecular biology | <study> The study of the biochemistry of cells, it is closely linked to cell biology, in particular the biochemistry of DNA and cogeners. (16 Dec 1997) |
| molecular biophysics | Biophysics concerned with membrane processes, conformational and configurational properties of macromolecules, bioelectrical phenomena, etc. (05 Mar 2000) |
| molecular chaperones | A family of cellular proteins that mediate the correct assembly or disassembly of other polypeptides, and in some cases their assembly into oligomeric structures, but which are not components of those final structures. It is believed that chaperone proteins assist polypeptides to self-assemble by inhibiting alternative assembly pathways that produce nonfunctional structures. Some classes of molecular chaperones are the nucleoplasmins, the chaperonins, the heat-shock proteins 70, and the heat-shock proteins 90. (12 Dec 1998) |
