| arginine-trna ligase | <enzyme> An enzyme that activates arginine with its specific transfer RNA. Chemical name: L-Arginine:tRNA(Arg)ligase (AMP-forming) Registry number: EC 6.1.1.19 (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| aspartate-trna ligase | <enzyme> An enzyme that activates aspartic acid with its specific transfer RNA. Chemical name: L-Aspartate:tRNA-(Asp) ligase (AMP-forming) Registry number: EC 6.1.1.12 (12 Dec 1998) |
| ATT site | <molecular biology> A site on the chromosome of the bacteria E. Coli where the lambda bacteriophage can insert its genome (all of its DNA) so that it can lie dormant and have its DNA reproduced whenever the bacterium reproduces for as long as the bacterium remains healthy (that is, so that it becomes lysogenic). (09 Oct 1997) |
| valine-trna ligase | <enzyme> An enzyme that activates valine with its specific transfer RNA. Chemical name: L-Valine:tRNA(Val) ligase (AMP-forming) Registry number: EC 6.1.1.9 (12 Dec 1998) |
| gaylus-site | <chemical> A yellowish white, translucent mineral, consisting of the carbonates of lime and soda, with water. Origin: Named after Gay-Lussac, the French chemist. (20 Mar 1998) |
| receptor site | Point of attachment of viruses, hormones, or other activators to cell membranes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| catalytic site | <chemistry> The site on an enzyme where the substrate or substrates (the reactants of a chemical or biochemical reaction) attach in order to convert to the product or products of the reaction, at a much higher speed than the substrate would need to convert to the product alone. (16 Mar 1998) |
| replication site | The in vivo site on DNA of DNA replication. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glutamate-trna ligase | <enzyme> An enzyme that activates glutamic acid with its specific transfer RNA. Chemical name: L-Glutamate:tRNA(Glu) ligase (AMP-forming) Registry number: EC 6.1.1.17 (12 Dec 1998) |

| glutamyl-tRNA(Gln) amidotransferase | <enzyme> Amidation proceeds by a gamma-phosphorylated intermediate; glutamine or asparagine can act as amide donor Registry number: EC 2.6.- Synonym: glu-trna(gln) amidotransferases, glu-adt (26 Jun 1999) |
| glutamyl tRNA reductase | <enzyme> Involved in aminolevulinic acid biosynthesis; trna is cofactor for NADPH-dependent reduction of glutamate to glutamate-1-saemialdehyde; amino acid sequence given in second source Registry number: EC 1.2.1.- Synonym: glu-trna reductase, haema protein, haema gene product, k-12 haema gene product, haema1 gene product, haema2 gene product (26 Jun 1999) |

| restriction enzyme cutting site | <molecular biology> A specific nucleotide sequence of DNA at which a particular restriction enzyme cuts the DNA. Some sites occur frequently in DNA (for example, every several hundred basepairs), others much less frequently (rare-cutter, for example, every 10,000 base pairs). (10 Mar 1998) |
| restriction site | A sequence in DNA that can be recognised and cut by a specific restriction enzyme. (12 Dec 1998) |
