| 영문 | Electric convulsive therapy(ECT) | 한글 | 전기경련요법 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 뇌에 전기 자극을 주어 인위적으로 경련을 유발함으로써 정신 병을 치료하는 방법. 전기쇼크요법(electroshock therapy)이라고도 한다. 1938년에 이탈리아의 체를레티와 비니에 의해 시작되었다. 작용기전은 확실치 않으나 뇌의 신진대사, 생화학 및 효소 등에 변화를 일으킨다는 생물학적, 생화학적 학설이 유력하다. 적응증으로 가장 효과적인 병은 우울증으로 특히 여성에서 갱년기에 호발하는 갱년기 우울증, 우울증과 조증(아주 기분이 좋은 상태가 지속되는 정신병)이 일정한 주기를 두고 반복하는 조울증에 잘 쓰이며, 80~90%에서 효과가 있다. |

| phosphorylase-rupturing enzyme | <enzyme> An enzyme that deactivates glycogen phosphorylase a by releasing inorganic phosphate and phosphorylase b, the inactive form. Chemical name: (Phosphorylase a) phosphohydrolase Registry number: EC 3.1.3.17 (12 Dec 1998) |

| photoreactivating enzyme | deoxyribodipyrimidine photolyase |
| modification enzyme | <enzyme, molecular biology> An enzyme that introduces minor bases into DNA or RNA or that alters bases already incorporated. Serves to alter the sequence so that restriction enzymes will not damage the strand. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Warburg's old yellow enzyme | <enzyme> A flavoprotein that reversibly oxidises NADPH to NADP and a reduced acceptor. Chemical name: NADPH:(acceptor) oxidoreductase Registry number: EC 1.6.99.1 (12 Dec 1998) |
| Warburg's respiratory enzyme | 1. A system of cytochromes and their oxidases that participate in respiratory processes. 2. Often, specifically, cytochrome oxidase. Synonym: Warburg's respiratory enzyme. Origin: Ger. (05 Mar 2000) |
| co-immobilised enzyme | <biochemistry> A group of enzymes which work together and are physically confined while doing so. (09 Oct 1997) |
| cold sensitive enzyme | <enzyme> An enzyme that loses its stability as the temperature is lowered. (05 Mar 2000) |
| condensing enzyme | Citrate (si)-synthase;an enzyme catalyzing the condensation of oxaloacetate, water, and acetyl-CoA, forming citrate and coenzyme A; an important step in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Synonym: citrogenase, condensing enzyme, oxaloacetate transacetase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| multi locus enzyme electrophoresis | Inhibition of translation of the transcript of a transposase gene by a multicopy plasmid with suitable inhibitory gene. The plasmid inhibits transposition events in the host bacterium. (18 Nov 1997) |
| constituent enzyme | <biochemistry> Any of many enzymes that a cellmust have at all times to stay alive. (09 Oct 1997) |
| constitutive enzyme | <enzyme> An enzyme that is constantly produced by the cell regardless of the growth conditions. Compare: induced enzyme. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cooperative enzyme | <enzyme> An enzyme that exhibits the property of cooperativity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coordinated enzyme synthesis | The regulatory mechanism where an entire group of different enzymes, all of which play a part in the same metabolic process, is synthesised at the same time. This comes about because the chemical signal to begin synthesis of each enzyme is the same for all of them. (09 Oct 1997) |
| heat-stable enzyme | <enzyme> An enzyme that is not readily subject to destruction or alteration by heat. Synonym: heat-stable enzyme. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Schardinger enzyme | <enzyme> Dehydrogenases involved in conversion of hypoxanthine to xanthine and xanthine to uric acid, as the final catabolism of purines. Deficient in the human disease xanthinuria. (18 Nov 1997) |
