| Hind III | <enzyme, molecular biology> Commonly used type II restriction endonuclease isolated from Haemophilus influenzae, it cleaves the sequence AAGCTT between the two As thus generating sticky ends. (18 Nov 1997) |

| HTLV-III | <abbreviation> Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type III. See: human immunodeficiency virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| NADH-Fe(III)EDTA oxidoreductase | <enzyme> From cryptococcus albidus; catalyses the formation of nad+ and fe(ii)edta from NADH and fe(iii)edta; forms ethylene from 2-oxo-4-methylthiobutyric acid Registry number: EC 1.6.99.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| Sudan III | A red stain, (C6H5)N==N(C6H4)N==N(C10H6)OH, used for neutral fat in histologic technique; it also stains the fatty envelope of the tubercle bacillus. Synonym: Sudan red III. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Sudan red III | A red stain, (C6H5)N==N(C6H4)N==N(C10H6)OH, used for neutral fat in histologic technique; it also stains the fatty envelope of the tubercle bacillus. Synonym: Sudan red III. (05 Mar 2000) |
| DNA polymerase III | <enzyme> An enzyme that aids in DNA replication. It has a number of different functions, such as: proofreading newly replicated DNA, removing nucleotides from the 3' end of the strand one by one, and binding nucleotides from the 5' end of the strand. (09 Oct 1997) |
| ductus pharyngobranchialis III | A narrow communication between the third branchial pouch and the pharynx in the embryo. (05 Mar 2000) |
| exonuclease III | An exonuclease enzyme which removes nucleotides one at a time from the 5'-end of duplex DNA which does not have a phosphorylated 3'-end. (09 Oct 1997) |
| factor III | In the clotting of blood, tissue factor or thromboplastin; it initiates the extrinsic pathway by reacting with factor VII and calcium to form factor VIIa. See: thromboplastin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| uroporphyrin-III C-methyltransferase | <enzyme> From pseudomonas denitrificans; enzyme of the cobalamin biosynthetic pathway which catalyses the c methylation of uroporphyrinogen III; also catalyses both nad+ dependent oxidation of precorrin-2 to sirohydrochlorin and insertion of iron into it to produce siroheme; cysg gene is from E coli; product of coba gene of pseudomonas; do not confuse with coba gene product of salmonella typhimurium which yields ATP-corrinoid adenosyltransferase Registry number: EC 2.1.1.107 Synonym: uroiii methyltransferase, uroporphyrinogen III methylase, sumt methyltransferase, s-adenosylmethionine-uroporphyrinogen III methyltransferase, cysg gene product, siroheme synthase, coba gene product, propionibacterium (26 Jun 1999) |
| uroporphyrinogen-III synthase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the cyclization of hydroxymethylbilane to yield uroporphyrinogen III and water. Chemical name: Hydroxymethylbilane hydro-lyase (cyclizing) Registry number: EC 4.2.1.75 (12 Dec 1998) |
| forms of DNA i, II and III | Refers to circular DNA removed from viruses and as plasmids. Form I is the DNA in its normal, supercoiled form. Form II is the DNA after one of the two strands has been nicked (cut apart), and is circular. Form III is the DNA after both strands have been broken, and is linear. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Le Fort III craniofacial dysjunction | A complex fracture in which the facial bones are separated from the cranial bones. Synonym: Le Fort III craniofacial dysjunction, Le Fort III fracture, transverse facial fracture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Le Fort III fracture | A complex fracture in which the facial bones are separated from the cranial bones. Synonym: Le Fort III craniofacial dysjunction, Le Fort III fracture, transverse facial fracture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acrocephalosyndactyly type 1 | <paediatrics> An inherited disease (autosomal dominant) or a spontaneously occurring disease characterised by a peaked head and unusual facial appearance, due to the premature closure of the cranial sutures. A skull X-ray can confirm the diagnosis and treatment is surgical. Inheritance: autosomal dominant. (27 Sep 1997) |
