| absolute configuration | <chemistry> The three-dimensional arrangement of the atoms around the chiral centre of a molecule. (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| cis configuration | <molecular biology> The configuration of an organic molecule containing a double bond between two carbon atoms, where the largest, most complex R groups are on the same side: H H \ / C=C / \ H3C CH3 -OR-The configuration of an organic molecule containing a ring, where the largest, most complex R groups are on the same side: H H | ___ \ / | // \\ [ring viewed edge-on] | \___/ / \ | /---\ H3C CH3 | H3C CH3. A genetics term meaning an event or a gene whose action occurs on the same chromosome. Two mutations in different genes coding for the same phenotype which are on the same chromosome (as opposed to the trans configuration where each homologue has one of the mutations). Compare: trans configuration. (11 Jan 1998) |
| configuration | <chemistry> The three-dimensional arrangement of an organic molecule that is caused by: double bonds that prevent free rotation, or chiral centres that haveside groups arranged around them in a particular order. A configurational isomer cannot be turned into another configuration without breaking covalent bonds. (09 Oct 1997) |
| stereochemical configuration | <chemistry> The arrangement of atoms in a molecule in three-dimensional space, especially with regard to the differences between enantiomers. The arrangements are specified in chemical formulas with the letters R, S, L, and/or D. In the R, S system, each asymmetric carbon atom is classified as R (for rectus, Latin for right) if the chemical groups attached to it have decreasing priorities in a clockwise direction, or S (for sinister, Latin for left) if the chemical groups attached to it have decreasing priorities in a counterclockwise direction, when the carbon atom in question is viewed along the bond of the chemical group with the lowest priority. Priorities are assigned to chemical groups according to the Cahn-Ingold Prelog priority rules (generally, the larger the group the higher the priority). L and D designations are given if the enantiomers have optical activity, that is, if they will rotate polarized light. The member of the pair which rotates polarized light clockwise is dextrorotatory, or D, and the member of the pair which rotates polarized light counterclockwise is levorotatory, or L (there is always one of each in every pair). This is also often referred to as handedness, where D is right-handed and L is lefthanded. (13 Nov 1997) |
| degenerate configuration | <radiobiology> Magnetic field configuration in which the magnetic lines of force close exactly on themselves after passing around the configuration a finite number of times. (09 Oct 1997) |
| trans configuration | 1. <chemistry> The configuration of an organic molecule containing a double bond between two carbon atoms, where the largest, most complex R groups attached to each carbon are on opposite sides. Alternatively: The configuration of an organic molecule containing a ring, where the largest, most complex R groups attached to each carbon are on opposite sides. These configurations are the opposite of cis configuration. 2. <genetics> A genetics term meaning that the changes in gene expression are due to something acting on the gene from a distance, or from an unrelated location, rather than on the same strand of DNA. Two mutations in different genes coding for the same phenotype which are on opposite homologous chromosomes (as opposed to the cis configuration where both of the mutations are on the same homologue). (17 Mar 1998) |
| field-reversed configuration | <radiobiology> A compact torus produced in a theta pinch and having (in principle) no toroidal field. The potential advantages for a fusion reactor include a simple (linear) machine geometry, an average plasma pressure close to the confining field pressure, and physical separation of formation and burn chambers. The are predicted to be violently unstable to tilting, but this is rarely observed. (09 Oct 1997) |
| partial denture retention | The fixation of a removable partial denture by the use of clasps, indirect retainers, or precision attachments. (05 Mar 2000) |
| retention | 1. The persistent keeping within the body of matters normally excreted. 2. In cavity preparation, the prevention of displacement of a restoration. 3. <dentistry> The period during which the patient is wearing an appliance to maintain and stabilise the teeth in the position into which they were moved. 4. <psychology> The persistence to perform a learned behaviour (facts or experiences) after an interval has elapsed in which there has been no performance or practice of the behaviour. Origin: L. Retentio, from retentare = to hold firmly back (18 Nov 1997) |
| retention area | An area of a tooth provided during its preparation for restoration that will aid in holding the restoration in place. See: retention groove, retention point. (05 Mar 2000) |
| retention arm | A flexible segment of a removable partial denture that engages an undercut on an abutment and is designed to retain the denture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| retention cyst | A cyst resulting from some obstruction to the excretory duct of a gland. Synonym: distention cyst, secretory cyst. (05 Mar 2000) |
| retention form | The shape of a cavity preparation that prevents displacement of the dental restoration by lateral or tipping forces as well as masticatory forces. (05 Mar 2000) |
| retention groove | One of the groove's forming opposing vertical constrictions in a tooth to aid in retention of a dental restoration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| retention jaundice | Jaundice due to insufficiency of liver function or to an excess of bile pigment production; the bilirubin is unconjugated because it has not passed through the liver cells; van den Bergh test is indirect. (05 Mar 2000) |
