Kaede (protein)
Kaede is a photoactivatable fluorescent protein naturally originated from a stony coral, Trachyphyllia geoffroyi. Its name means “maple” in Japanese. With the irradiation of ultraviolet light (350â400 nm), Kaede undergoes irreversible p
Nucleic acid secondary structure
Nucleic acid secondary structure is the basepairing interactions within a single nucleic acid polymer or between two polymers. It can be represented as a list of bases which are paired in a nucleic acid molecule. Dirks, Robert M.; Lin, Milo; Winfree, Erik & Pierce, Niles
Structural motif
In a chain-like biological molecule, such as a protein or nucleic acid, a structural motif is a common three-dimensional structure that appears in a variety of different, evolutionarily unrelated molecules. Johansson, M.U. (23 July 2012). “Defining and searching for structural motif
Turn (biochemistry)
For beta turns, see Beta turn. A turn is an element of secondary structure in proteins where the polypeptide chain reverses its overall direction. Definition According to one definition, see Rose et al. 1985 in the References a turn is a structural motif where the CÎą a
β turns (also β-bends, tight turns, reverse turns, Venkatachalam turns) are the most common form of turnsâa type of non-regular secondary structure in proteins that cause a change in direction of the polypeptide chain
β turns (also β-bends, tight turns, reverse turns, Venkatachalam turns) are the most common form of turnsâa type of non-regular secondary structure in proteins that cause a change in direction of the polypeptide chain. They are very common motifs in&n
Freemartins
A freemartin or free-martin (sometimes martin heifer) is an infertile female cattle with masculinized behavior and non-functioning ovaries.[1] Phenotypically, the animal appears female, but various aspects of female reproductive development are altered due to acquisition of anti-Mßlle
