  2. Biological applications of bifurcation theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_applications_of...

    Despite the great potential complexity and diversity of biological networks, all first-order network behavior generalizes to one of four possible input-output motifs: hyperbolic or Michaelis–Menten, ultra-sensitive, bistable, and bistable irreversible (a bistability where negative and therefore biologically impossible input is needed to return from a state of high output).

  3. Transfer RNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_RNA

    Once translation initiation is complete, the first aminoacyl tRNA is located in the P/P site, ready for the elongation cycle described below. During translation elongation, tRNA first binds to the ribosome as part of a complex with elongation factor Tu or its eukaryotic or archaeal counterpart. This initial tRNA binding site is called the A/T site.

  4. Transfer function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_function

    The transfer function of a two-port electronic circuit, such as an amplifier, might be a two-dimensional graph of the scalar voltage at the output as a function of the scalar voltage applied to the input; the transfer function of an electromechanical actuator might be the mechanical displacement of the movable arm as a function of electric ...

  5. Passive transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_transport

    Passive diffusion across a cell membrane.. Passive transport is a type of membrane transport that does not require energy to move substances across cell membranes. [1] [2] Instead of using cellular energy, like active transport, [3] passive transport relies on the second law of thermodynamics to drive the movement of substances across cell membranes.

  6. Hfr cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hfr_cell

    By using Hfr and F − strains with one strain carrying mutations in several genes, each affecting a metabolic function or causing antibiotic resistance, and examining the phenotype of the recipient cells on selective agar plates, one can deduce which genes are transferred into the recipient cells first and therefore are closer to the oriT ...

  7. Gene flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_flow

    Gene flow is the transfer of alleles from one population to another population through immigration of individuals. In population genetics, gene flow (also known as migration and allele flow) is the transfer of genetic material from one population to another. If the rate of gene flow is high enough, then two populations will have equivalent ...

  8. Competence factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Competence_factor

    Horizontal gene transfer is a result of this, where bacterial genes can be transferred amongst same-generation species in a given environment, and competence is the ability of a cell to participate in the transfer.

  9. Photosystem I - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosystem_I

    The photosystems of green sulfur bacteria and those of cyanobacteria, algae, and higher plants are not the same, but there are many analogous functions and similar structures. Three main features are similar between the different photosystems. [23] First, redox potential is negative enough to reduce ferredoxin. [23]
