| 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) |

| gel structure | Brush heap structure of fibrils giving firmness to hydrocolloids. (05 Mar 2000) |
| genetic fine structure | The study of genes on the level of their nucleotide sequences and what happens to their molecular structure at that level. (09 Oct 1997) |
| chi structure | <molecular biology> The name for the X-shaped structure which forms during the recombination process between two plasmids, or circular pieces, of DNA. The Greek letter chi resembles this structure. (05 Jan 1998) |
| group structure | The informal or formal organization of a group of people based on a network of personal relationships which is influenced by the size and composition, etc., of the group. (12 Dec 1998) |
| molecular structure | The location of the atoms, groups or ions relative to one another in a molecule, as well as the number and location of chemical bonds. (12 Dec 1998) |
| 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) |
| protein structure | The amino acids and their manner of arrangement in constituting a protein. The four stages of protein structuring are primary (protein structure, primary see amino acid sequence), secondary (protein structure, secondary), tertiary (protein structure, tertiary), and quaternary (protein structure, quaternary see protein conformation).
