  2. Transcription preinitiation complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcription_pre...

    The preinitiation complex (abbreviated PIC) is a complex of approximately 100 proteins that is necessary for the transcription of protein-coding genes in eukaryotes and archaea. The preinitiation complex positions RNA polymerase II (Pol II) at gene transcription start sites , denatures the DNA , and positions the DNA in the RNA polymerase II ...

  3. Purine metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purine_metabolism

    Formyl groups build carbon-2 and carbon-8 in the purine ring system, which are the ones acting as bridges between two nitrogen atoms. A key regulatory step is the production of 5-phospho-α- D -ribosyl 1-pyrophosphate ( PRPP ) by ribose-phosphate diphosphokinase , which is activated by inorganic phosphate and inactivated by purine ribonucleotides.

    Principles of Biology is a college level biology electronic textbook published by Nature Publishing in 2011. The book is not a digitally reformatted version of a paper book. [ 1 ] The book, the first in a projected series, is Nature Publishing's first foray into textbook publishing.

  5. Class (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class_(biology)

    In biological classification, class (Latin: classis) is a taxonomic rank, as well as a taxonomic unit, a taxon, in that rank. It is a group of related taxonomic orders. [a] Other well-known ranks in descending order of size are life, domain, kingdom, phylum, order, family, genus, and species, with class ranking between phylum and order. [1]

  6. De novo protein structure prediction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_novo_protein_structure...

    Specifically, de novo programs will select possible conformations with lower free energies – which are more likely to be correct than those structures with higher free energies. [2] [7] [8] As stated by David A. Baker in regards to how his de novo Rosetta predictor works, “during folding, each local segment of the chain flickers between a ...

  7. Photobiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photobiology

    Photobiology is the scientific study of the beneficial and harmful interactions of light (technically, non-ionizing radiation) in living organisms. [1] The field includes the study of photophysics, photochemistry, photosynthesis, photomorphogenesis, visual processing, circadian rhythms, photomovement, bioluminescence, and ultraviolet radiation effects.

    About half of Denmark's 28 largest companies share this dual-class structure, where the stock is divided into Class A and B. Class A shares are typically not available on the public markets.

  9. Synthetic biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_biology

    Synthetic biology (SynBio) is a multidisciplinary field of science that focuses on living systems and organisms, and it applies engineering principles to develop new biological parts, devices, and systems or to redesign existing systems found in nature.
