| stromal processing peptidase | <enzyme> Involved in processing chloroplast stromal proteins Registry number: EC 3.4.24.- (26 Jun 1999) |
|---|---|
| dipeptidyl peptidase | A hydrolase occurring in two forms: Dipeptidyl peptidase I, dipeptidyl transferase, cleaving dipeptides from the amino end of polypeptides, dipeptidyl peptidase II, with properties similar to those of I, has a different specificity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thylakoid processing peptidase | <enzyme> Signal type peptidase with stringent substrate requirements at the -3 and -1 positions; removes amino-terminal peptide extension which transports proteins across the thylakoid membrane Registry number: EC 3.4.99.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| tri-alanyl peptidase | <enzyme> Biliary tract enzyme Registry number: EC 3.4.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| type IV prepilin peptidase | <enzyme> Product of the pulc-o pullulanase secretion gene operon; involved in processing prepilin signal peptide; may also function as an n-methyltransferase Registry number: EC 3.4.99.- Synonym: pulo protein, pulo gene product, pulo peptidase (26 Jun 1999) |
| FALGPA peptidase | <enzyme> An endopeptidase from treponema denticola that cleaves furylacryloyl-leu-gly-pro-ala; also active on bradykinin Registry number: EC 3.4.24.- Synonym: falgpa-peptidase (26 Jun 1999) |
| lysine-C peptidase | <enzyme> Used in amino acid sequence determinations Registry number: EC 3.4.99.- Synonym: lysine specific peptidase (26 Jun 1999) |
| aberrant complex | An anomalous electrocardiographic complex, more specifically an abnormal ventricular complex caused by abnormal intraventricular conduction of a supraventricular impulse. (05 Mar 2000) |
| activated complex | <chemistry> State of highest energy during a reaction. When reactants form the activated complex, bond breaking and bond formation is occurring. Synonym: transition state. (09 Jan 1998) |
| AIDS dementia complex | <immunology> A frequent cerebral condition in people with AIDS that results in the loss of cognitive capacity, affecting the ability to function in a social or occupational setting. Its cause has not been determined exactly, but may result from HIV infection of cells in the brain or an inflammatory reaction to such infection. (09 Oct 1997) |
| aids-related complex | A prodromal phase of infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Laboratory criteria separating aids-related complex (arc) from aids include elevated or hyperactive B-cell humoral immune responses, compared to depressed or normal antibody reactivity in aids; follicular or mixed hyperplasia in arc lymph nodes, leading to lymphocyte degeneration and depletion more typical of aids; evolving succession of histopathological lesions such as localization of kaposi's sarcoma, signaling the transition to the full-blown aids. (12 Dec 1998) |
| alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complex | See: alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase. Anaerobic dehydrogenase, an enzyme (usually a pyridinoenzyme) catalyzing the transfer of hydrogen from some metabolite to some acceptor molecule (e.g., NAD+, cytochrome) other than oxygen; e.g., lactate dehydrogenase's, isocitrate dehydrogenase's, and others in EC class 1, excluding those listed under aerobic dehydrogenase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex | alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase |
| amygdaloid complex | Almond-shaped group of basal nuclei anterior to the inferior horn of the lateral ventricle of the brain, within the temporal lobe. The amygdala is part of the limbic system. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anomalous complex | A complex in the electrocardiogram differing significantly from the physiologic type in the same lead. (05 Mar 2000) |
