| carbon-sulfur lyases | <enzyme> Enzymes that catalyze the cleavage of a carbon-sulfur bond by means other than hydrolysis or oxidation. Registry number: EC 4.4 (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| carbon tetrachloride | <chemical> Tetrachloromethane. A solvent for oils, fats, lacquers, varnishes, rubber waxes, and resins, and a starting material in the manufacturing of organic compounds. Poisoning by inhalation, ingestion or skin absorption is possible and may be fatal. Chemical name: Methane, tetrachloro- (12 Dec 1998) |
| quaternary carbon atom | An atom of carbon to which four other carbon atom's are attached. (05 Mar 2000) |
| one-carbon fragment | The formyl group or the methyl group that takes part in transformylation or transmethylation reactions; by means of these reactions, a group containing a single carbon atom is added to a compound being biosynthesised, adding a methyl group (as in thymidine formation), adding a hydroxymethyl group (as in serine biosynthesis), or closing a ring (as in purine formation). (05 Mar 2000) |
| one-carbon group transferases | <enzyme> A subclass of transferases that transfer chemical groups containing a single carbon. These include the methyltransferases, the hydroxymethyl and formyl transferases, the carboxyl and carbamoyl transferases, and the amidinotransferases. Registry number: EC 2.1 (12 Dec 1998) |
| two-carbon fragment | The acetyl group (CH3CO-) that takes part in transacetylation reactions with coenzyme A as carrier; commonly referred to as acetate or acetic acid, from which it is derived. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acromial end of clavicle | The flattened lateral end of the clavicle that articulates with the acromion and is anchored to the coracoid process by the conoid and trapezoid ligaments. Synonym: extremitas acromialis claviculae, acromial end of clavicle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| blunt-end | Refers to double-stranded DNA in which there are no unpaired bases at the end. (05 Mar 2000) |
| blunt-end DNA | <molecular biology> A fragment of a DNA molecule in which the ends of both strands are even with each other rather than one strand being longer than the other. (09 Oct 1997) |
| blunt-end ligation | A lab technique to join together two pieces of blunt-end DNA, such as an insert into a cloning vector, which requires the enzyme ligase because there are no single-stranded overhanging ends for the attachment to form more spontaneously, by itself. (09 Oct 1997) |
| by-end | Private end or interest; secret purpose; selfish advantage. Alternative forms: bye-end. (20 Mar 1998) |
| capped 5'-end | A methylated (has a -CH3 attached) guanosine nucleotide attached to the 5'-end (the beginning) of an eukaryotic mRNA, thought to give the mRNA stability. (09 Oct 1997) |
| glycosylation end products, advanced | Products derived from the nonenzymatic reaction of glucose and proteins in vivo that exhibit a yellow-brown pigmentation and an ability to participate in protein-protein cross-linking. These substances are involved in biological processes relating to protein turnover and it is believed that their excessive accumulation contributes to the chronic complications of diabetes mellitus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| root end cyst | An inflammatory odontogenic cyst derived histogenetically from Malassez' epithelial rests surrounding the root apex of a nonvital tooth. Synonym: periapical cyst, radicular cyst, root end cyst. (05 Mar 2000) |
| root end granuloma | Chronic nonsuppurative inflammation of periapical tissue resulting from irritation following pulp disease or endodontic treatment. (12 Dec 1998) |
