| freeze cleavage | Method of specimen preparation for the electron microscope in which rapidly frozen tissue is cracked so as to produce a fracture plane through the specimen. The surface of the fracture plane is then shadowed by heavy metal vapour, strengthened by a carbon film and the underlying specimen is digested away, leaving a replica that can be picked up on a grid and examined in the transmission electron microscope. The great advantage of the method is that the fracture plane tends to pass along the centre of lipid bilayers and it is therefore possible to get en face views of membranes that reveal the pattern of Integral membrane proteins. The E face is the outer lamella of the plasma membrane viewed as if from within the cell, the P face the inner lamella viewed from outside the cell. Fracture planes also often pass along lines of weakness such as the interface between cytoplasm and membrane, so that outer and inner membrane surfaces can be viewed. Further information about the structure can be revealed by freeze etching. Extremely rapid freezing followed by deep etching has allowed the structure of the cytoplasm to be studied without the artefacts that might be introduced by fixation. (18 Nov 1997) |
| acid-citrate-dextrose | A citrate anticoagulant used for the collection and preservation of whole blood. It has largely been replaced by newer coagulants (CPD, Adsol) that allow for longer shelf life for blood and blood products. Acronym: ACD (05 Mar 2000) |
| ATP citrate lyase | ATP citrate (pro-3S)-lyase |
| ATP citrate (pro-3S)-lyase | <enzyme> An enzyme that, in the presence of ATP and CoA, catalyses the cleavage of citrate to yield acetyl CoA, oxaloacetate, ADP, and orthophosphate. This reaction represents an important step in fatty acid biosynthesis. Chemical name: ATP:citrate oxaloacetate-lyase ((pro-S)-CH2COO(-)--acetyl-CoA) (ATP-dephosphorylating) Registry number: EC 4.1.3.8 Synonym: citrate cleavage enzyme. (12 Dec 1998) |

| calcium citrate | <chemical> A colourless crystalline or white powdery organic, tricarboxylic acid occurring in plants, especially citrus fruits, and used as a flavoring agent, as an antioxidant in foods, and as a sequestrating agent. Pharmacological action: antioxidants. (12 Dec 1998) |
| carbetapentane citrate | 2-(Diethylaminoethoxy)ethyl 1-phenylcyclopentyl-1-carboxylate citrate;it has atropine-like and local anaesthetic actions and effectively suppresses acute cough due to common upper respiratory infections. (05 Mar 2000) |
