| intrinsic sympathomimetic activity | The property of a drug that causes activation of adrenergic receptors so as to produce effects similar to stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| optical activity | The ability of a material to rotate the plane of polarized light. (09 Oct 1997) |
| triggered activity | One or a series of spontaneously generated heart beats originating from an action potential that produces an after-depolarisation which reaches activation threshold. (05 Mar 2000) |
| unit of thyrotrophic activity | The activity of an amount of an extract of the anterior lobe of the hypophysis which, given daily for 5 days, will cause the thyroid of a guinea pig (weighing 200 g) to reach a weight of 600 mg. (05 Mar 2000) |
| zone of polarizing activity | <cell biology> The small group of mesenchyme cells in avian limb buds that is located at the posterior margin of the developing bud and that produces a substance, possibly retinoic acid, that provides positional information to the developing limb bud. (18 Nov 1997) |

| cointegrate structure | A structure of DNA produced by the fusion of two replicons, one possessing a transposon. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cruciform structure | A structure, shaped like a cross, which can form during homologous recombination when inverted base-pair repeats pair with each other on the same strand of DNA instead of with homologous sections on a different strand of DNA. (09 Oct 1997) |
| crystal structure | <chemistry> The configuration in which atoms are arranged in a material. These arrangements have a direct effect on the physical properties of the material. These arrangements commonly take the form of cubes, rectangular solids, hexagonal solids. Etc. (05 Aug 1998) |
| primary structure | The covalent backbone of a macromolecule. The order of subunits in a biological polymer, such as amino acids in a polypeptide or nucleotides in a molecule of DNA or RNA. (09 Oct 1997) |
