| acid phosphatase test for semen | A screening test for semen by determining acid phosphatase content; because seminal fluid contains high concentrations of acid phosphatase, while other body fluids and extraneous foreign materials have very low concentrations, high values of acid phosphatase on vaginal aspirate or lavage, or on wash fluid from stains, render positive identification of semen, even if the male is aspermic. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| acid protease | <enzyme> Any of many protein-hydrolysing rennin. Similar proteases produced by fungi such as Aspergillus oryzae are used in the manufacture of flour and soy sauce. (06 May 1997) |
| acid radical | A radical formed from an acid by loss of one or more hydrogen ions; e.g., SO4-, NO3-. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acid rain | <biology, plant biology> This is rain which has turned acidic because of the presence of sulphur or nitrogen oxides (both created from burning coal and other fossil fuels) in the atmosphere. Acid rain is a serious environmental problem, it can kill trees and harm plants and animals in lakes and ponds. (09 Oct 1997) |
| acid reaction | Any test by which an acid reaction is recognised such as the change of blue litmus paper to red, an excess of hydrogen ions over hydroxide ions in aqueous solution indicated by a pH value less than 7 (at 22캜). Compare: dissociation constant of water. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acid red 87 | Eosin Ys, the disodium salt of 2',4',5',7'-tetrabromofluorescein. Synonym: acid red 87, eosin yellowish. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acid red 91 | The disodium salt of 4',5'-dibromo-2',7'-dinitrofluorescein. Synonym: acid red 91, eosin I bluish. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acid reflux test | A test to detect gastroesophageal reflux by monitoring oesophageal pH by an electrode in the distal oesophagus either basally or after acid is instilled into the stomach. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acid rigor | Coagulation of muscle protein induced by acids. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acid salt | A salt in which not all of the ionizable hydrogen of the acid is replaced by the electropositive element; e.g., NaHSO4, KH2PO4. Synonym: bisalt, protosalt. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acid seromucoid | <biology> Plasma protein of mammals and birds, 38% carbohydrate. In humans a single chain glycoprotein of 39 kD. Increased levels are associated with inflammation, pregnancy and various diseases. (18 Nov 1997) |
| acid soluble spore protein | <molecular biology> A DNA binding protein in the spores of some bacteria, thought to stabilise the DNA in an A configuration, so protecting it from cleavage by enzymes or UV light. (18 Nov 1997) |
| acid stain | <technique> A dye in which the anion is the coloured component of the dye molecule, e.g., sodium eosinate (eosin). (05 Mar 2000) |
| acid sulfate | A salt containing HSO4-. Synonym: acid sulfate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acid tartrate | A salt of tartaric acid which contains an acid group still capable of combining with a base; e.g., bitartrate. (05 Mar 2000) |
