| Chandler syndrome | <syndrome> Iris atrophy with corneal oedema. Synonym: iridocorneal syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| change | An alteration; in pathology, structural alteration of which the cause and significance is uncertain. Synonym: shift. (05 Mar 2000) |
| change of life | Colloquialism for menopause, climacteric. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Changeux, Jean-Pierre | <person> French 20th-century biochemist. See: Monod-Wyman-Changeux model. (05 Mar 2000) |
| channel | A furrow, gutter, or groovelike passageway. See: canal. Origin: L. Canalis (05 Mar 2000) |
| channel forming ionophore | <chemistry> An ionophore that makes an amphipathic pore with hydrophobic exterior and hydrophilic interior. most known types are cation selective. (18 Nov 1997) |
| channel gating | <physiology> Small currents in the membrane just prior to the increase in ionic permeability, due to the movement of charged particles within the membrane. So called because they open the gates for current flow through ion channels. (20 Mar 1998) |
| channel islands | A group of four british islands and several islets in the english channel off the coast of france. They are known to have been occupied prehistorically. They were a part of normandy in 933 but were united to the british crown at the time of the norman conquest in 1066. Guernsey and jersey originated noted breeds of cattle. (12 Dec 1998) |
| channel protein | <chemistry, physiology> A protein that facilitates the diffusion of molecules/ions across lipid membranes by forming a hydrophilic pore. most frequently multimeric with the pore formed by subunit interactions. (18 Nov 1997) |
| channel transport | <radiobiology> In inertial fusion research using light ion drivers, describes the use of current-carrying plasma channels (which are magnetically confined to the channel) to transport electron or ion beams between the ion diode and the fusion target. This allows the ion source to stand back from the target. (09 Oct 1997) |
| channeled | Having a deep longitudinal groove. (09 Oct 1997) |
| channeling | The direct transfer of a reaction product from one enzyme's active site to that of another, thus catalysing the next step in a sequential pathway. (09 Oct 1997) |
| chanoclavin-I-cyclase | <enzyme> Converts chanoclavin I to agraclavin Registry number: EC 3.5.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| Chantemesse reaction | A conjunctival reaction, especially as applied to typhoid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Chantemesse, Andre | <person> French bacteriologist, 1851-1919. See: Chantemesse reaction. (05 Mar 2000) |
