| free energy | A thermodynamic term used to describe the energy that may be extracted from a system at constant temperature and pressure. In biological systems the most important relationship is: _G = RTln(Keq), where Keq is an equilibrium constant. (18 Nov 1997) |
| fusion energy | <chemistry, radiobiology> The binding energy of a nucleus is the minimum energy required to dissociate it into its component neutrons and protons. Neutron or proton binding energies are those required to remove a neutron or proton, respectively, from a nucleus. Electron binding energy is that required to remove an electron from an atom or a molecule. (16 Dec 1997) |
| linear energy transfer | <radiobiology> Average amount of energy lost per unit of particle track length and expressed in keV um-1. Acronym: LET (16 Dec 1997) |
| age-specific rate | A rate for a specified age group, in which the numerator and denominator refer to the same age group. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bensley's specific granules | Granule's in the cells of the islands of Langerhans in the pancreas. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brain-specific kinase | <enzyme> Expressed specifically in brain; member of the eph/elk receptor-like kinase family; mw 105 kD; may represent murine homolog of chicken cek7 receptor-like kinase; amino acid sequence given in first source Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: bsk tyrosine kinase (26 Jun 1999) |
| galactosyl-1-3-N-acetylgalactosaminyl-specific 2,6-sialyltransferase | <enzyme> Genbank x77775 Registry number: EC 2.4.99.- Synonym: galbeta1,3galnac 2,6-sialyltransferase, st6galnac II (26 Jun 1999) |
| glycoprotein hormone-specific N-acetylgalactosamine transferase | <enzyme> Transfers galnac to the terminal glcnac moieties of glcnac2man3glcnac2asn Registry number: EC 2.4.1.- Synonym: ghs-acgalnh2 transferase, glycoprotein hormone galnac transferase, glycoprotein hormone - n-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| retina-specific amine oxidase | <enzyme> Genbank d88213 Registry number: EC 1.4.- Synonym: rao enzyme, human (26 Jun 1999) |
| Gomori's non-specific acid phosphatase stain | <technique> A method in which formalin-fixed frozen sections are incubated in a substrate containing sodium beta-glycerophosphate and lead nitrate at pH 5.0; the insoluble lead phosphate produced is treated with ammonium sulfide to give a black lead sulfide. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Gomori's non-specific alkaline phosphatase stain | <technique> A calcium-cobalt sulfide method using frozen sections or cold acetone-or formalin-fixed paraffin sections, plus sodium beta-glycerophosphate as a substrate at pH 9.0 to 9.5 with Mg++ as activator; calcium ions precipitate the liberated phosphate, cobalt salt replaces the calcium phosphate, and ammonium sulfide converts the product to a black cobalt sulfide. (05 Mar 2000) |
| group-specific protease | <enzyme> A serine protease, obtained from rat small intestine, which preferentially inactivates the apo forms of certain pyridoxal phosphate requiring enzymes Registry number: EC 3.4.21.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| RNA, transfer, amino acid-specific | A group of transfer rnas which are specific for carrying each one of the 20 amino acids to the ribosome in preparation for protein synthesis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| poly A specific exoribonuclease | <enzyme> Acts on 2' or 3'-linked oligoriboadenylates to liberate 5'-AMP Registry number: EC 3.1.13.- Synonym: 2',3'-exoribonuclease, 3'-exoribonuclease (26 Jun 1999) |
