| conjugated protein | A protein that contains atleast one prosthetic group. (09 Oct 1997) |

| conjugation | 1. The act of joining together or the state of being conjugated. 2. <cell biology> A sexual process seen in bacteria, ciliate protozoa and certain fungi in which nuclear material is exchanged during the temporary fusion of two cells (conjugants). In bacterial genetics a form of sexual reproduction in which a donor bacterium (male) contributes some or all, of its DNA (in the form of a replicated set) to a recipient (female) which then incorporates differing genetic information into its own chromosome by recombination and passes the recombined set on to its progeny by replication. In ciliate protozoa, two conjugants of separate mating types exchange micronuclear material and then separate, each now being a fertilized cell. In certain fungi, the process involves fusion of two gametes, resulting in union of their nuclei and formation of a zygote. 3. <chemistry> The joining together of two compounds to produce another compound, such as the combination of a toxic product with some substance in the body to form a detoxified product, which is then eliminated. Origin: L. Conjugatio = a blending (18 Nov 1997) |
| conjugation, genetic | A parasexual mechanism in bacteria for achieving unidirectional transfer of all or part of the chromosome from an f+ or hfr donor ("male") to an f- ("female") recipient. (12 Dec 1998) |
| conjugative plasmid | Self-transmissible plasmid, a plasmid which encodes all the functions needed for its own intercellular transmission by conjugation. (09 Oct 1997) |
| conjugation |
In general, any of various sexual processes in microorganisms in which gene transfer follows the establishment of direct contact between two (or more) cells which typically show little or no morphological differentiation from vegetative cells. In bacterial conjugation, one bacterium (the "male" or donor cell) transfers DNA to another (the "female" or recipient cell) while the cells are in physical contact; a recipient that has received DNA from a donor is called a transconjugant.

| conjugate acid-base pair |
Two substances related by the gain or loss of a proton. Every Brnsted acid has a conjugate Brnsted base. An acid (such as HCl) and its conjugate base (the Cl - ion), or a base (the OH - ion) and its conjugate acid (H 2 O) represent a conjugate acid-base pair.

| conjugate |
In chemistry, this is a water soluble derivative of a chemical formed by its combination with glucuronic acid, glutathione, sulphate, acetate, glycine etc. Usually conjugation takes place in the liver and facilitates excretion of chemicals that would otherwise tend to accumulate in the body because of their solubility in body fat.

| conjugate acid |
When a base, B, reacts with a proton donor, AH, the product BH + is said to be the conjugate acid of B.
