| chromatography, thin layer | Chromatography on thin layers of adsorbents rather than in columns. The adsorbent can be alumina, silica gel, silicates, charcoals, or cellulose. (12 Dec 1998) |

| column chromatography | A form of partition, adsorption, ion exchange, or affinity chromatography in which one phase is liquid (aqueous) flowing down a column packed with the second phase, a solid; the dissolved substances form a partition between the solid and liquid phases depending on the chemical and physical conditions of each phase; the more strongly adsorbed solutes reach the bottom of the column later than the less strongly adsorbed ones. (05 Mar 2000) |
| high-performance liquid chromatography | <investigation> A lab technique, a type of column chromatography, which uses a combination of several separation techniques to separate substances at higher resolution. Extremely sharp peaks on the elution profile can be produced with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). (09 Oct 1997) |
| high-pressure liquid chromatography | <investigation> A lab technique, a type of column chromatography, which uses a combination of several separation techniques to separate substances at higher resolution. Extremely sharp peaks on the elution profile can be produced with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). (09 Oct 1997) |
| ion exchange chromatography | <procedure> Separation of molecules by absorption and desorption from charged polymers. An important technique for protein purification. For small molecules the support is usually polystyrene, but for macromolecules, cellulose, acrylamide or agarose supports give less non-specific absorption and denaturation. Typical charged residues are CM carboxymethyl) or DEAE (diethylaminoethyl). (27 Oct 1998) |
| thin layer chromatography | <technique> Chromatography using a thin layer of powdered medium on an inert sheet to support the stationary phase. Faster than paper chromatography, gives higher resolution and requires smaller samples. (18 Nov 1997) |
| thin-layer chromatography | Chromatography through a thin layer of cellulose or similar inert material supported on a glass or plastic plate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| two-dimensional chromatography | Paper chromatography in which a spot, located originally in one corner of a sheet, is developed in one direction along one side of the sheet, after which the sheet is rotated 90 |
| liquid-liquid chromatography | Chromatography in which both the moving phase and the stationary (or reverse-moving) phase are liquids, as in countercurrent distribution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acetoacetyl-acyl carrier protein synthase | <enzyme> E coli enzyme, that catalyses condensation of malonyl-acyl carrier protein plus acetyl-acyl carrier protein; not inhibited by cerulenin Registry number: EC 2.3.1.- Synonym: acetoacetyl-acp synthase (26 Jun 1999) |
| acyl-(acyl-carrier-protein)-phospholipid acyltransferase | <enzyme> Catalyses the formation of phosphatidylethanolamine from acyl-acyl carrier protein and 2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine Registry number: EC 2.3.1.40 Synonym: 2-acyl-gpe acyltransferase, 2-acylglycerophosphoethanolamine acyltransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| acyl-(acyl-carrier-protein)-UDP-N-acetylglucosamine acyltransferase | <enzyme> E coli enzyme involved in lipid a biosynthesis; uses beta-hydroxymyristoyl-acyl carrier protein to form udp-3-monoacyl-n-acetylglucosamine; amino acid sequence given in second source Registry number: EC 2.3.1.129 Synonym: udp-aguatransferase, lpxa protein, udp-n-acetylglucosamine-3-acyltransferase, udp-n-acetylglucosamine 3-o-acyltransferase, udp-3-o-(r-3-hydroxymyristoyl)glucosamine-n-acyltransferase, lpxd protein, fira gene product, fira protein (26 Jun 1999) |
| acyl carrier protein | <protein> A small (77 peptides long) protein which binds six other enzymes involved in fatty acid synthesis. It was first isolated in E. Coli bacteria. (09 Oct 1997) |
| acyl carrier protein acylase | <enzyme> From E coli Registry number: EC 2.3.1.- Synonym: acp acylase (26 Jun 1999) |
| amalgam carrier | An instrument used to transport triturated amalgam to a cavity preparation and to deposit it therein. (05 Mar 2000) |
