"Transcriptional Regulatory Networks in Saccharomyces cerevisiae"
10 Unknown Vocab Words
- nucleate: the quality of having a nucleus
- myc epitote tag (or just epitote tag): "epitope is a portion of a molecule to which an antibody binds. In most cases, epitope tags are constructed of amino acids. Epitope tags are added to a molecule (usually proteins) which an investigator wants to visualize. Visualization can take place in a gel, a western blot or labeling via immunofluorescence"
- immunoblot analysis: led me to Western Blot Analysis, which I will assume is the same: "procedure in which proteins separated by electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels are transferred (blotted) onto nitrocellulose or nylon membranes and identified by specific complexing with antibodies"
- peptone: "soluble and diffusible substance or substances into which albuminous portions of the food are transformed by the action of the gastric and pancreatic juices"
- dextrose: "sirupy, or white crystalline, variety of sugar, C6H12O6 (so called from turning the plane of polarization to the right), occurring in many ripe fruits. Dextrose and levulose are obtained by the inversion of cane sugar or sucrose, and hence called invert sugar. Dextrose is chiefly obtained by the action of heat and acids on starch, and hence called also starch sugar. It is also formed from starchy food by the action of the amylolytic ferments of saliva and pancreatic Juice"
- Chromatid immunoprecipitation: immunoprecipitation is "the small-scale affinity purification of antigens using a specific antibody and is one of the most widely used methods for antigen purification and detection" so I will assume that chromatid immunoprecipitation tested for chromatids or DNA in the genes probably through the immunoblot analysis
- thiamine: thiamine: "Thiazolium, 3-((4-amino-2-methyl-5-pyrimidinyl)methyl)-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-methyl- chloride A B vitamin that prevents beriberi; maintains appetite and growth.More commonly known as vitamin c"
- biosynthesis: "The production of a complex chemical compound from simpler precursors in a living organism, usually involving enzymes (to catalyze the reaction) and energy source (such as ATP)" so basically the production of thiamine (vitamin c) through biological processes
- leucine: "most abundant amino acid found in proteins. Confers hydrophobicity and has a structural rather than a chemical role. a white crystalline amino acid occurring in proteins that is essential for nutrition; obtained by the hydrolysis of most dietary proteins"
- intergenic: "occurring between genes or occuring between multiple genes" I assumed this using simple clues but wrote down the word anyways because there's no harm in looking it up to make sure
