Biological Terms

1. glycoprotein
   • "One of a group of compounds consisting of a protein combined with a carbohydrate (such as galactose or mannose). Examples of glycoproteins are certain enzymes, hormones, and antigens."
   • http://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803095856565
2. V3 loop
3. Chemokine co-receptors
   • "Any one of a group of small proteins that guide leucocytes to sites of infection and are vital for immune function. They fall into two main classes, CC chemokines and CXC chemokines; receptors (denoted R) are named after the class that bind to them, and subtypes of each class are indicated by numbers (e.g. CCR5)."
   • http://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803095605484
4. Immunochemical
5. Molecular dynamics trajectory
6. Transient
   • "Lasting only for a short period of time."
   • http://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/acref/9780199641666.001.0001/acref-9780199641666-e-8368?rskey=tPcmHs&result=2
7. Dihedrals
   • "An angle formed by the intersection of two planes (e.g. two faces of a polyhedron). The dihedral angle is the angle formed by taking a point on the line of intersection and drawing two lines from this point, one in each plane, perpendicular to the line of intersection."
   • http://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803095718396
8. Immunogenic
   • "Capable of stimulating an immune response."
   • http://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/acref/9780199766444.001.0001/acref-9780199766444-e-3321?rskey=tZbOkd&result=1
9. Collating
   • "An ordering of the internal character set, used in alphabetic and alphanumeric sorting."
   • http://www.oxfordreference.com/search?q=collating%20sequence
10. glycosylated
    • "The process of adding sugar units such as in the addition of glycan chains to proteins. An occurrence where a carbohydrate is added to a protein molecule, which can occur in the golgi apparatus."
    • http://www.biology-online.org/dictionary/Glycosylation
