  2. Denaturation (biochemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denaturation_(biochemistry)

    In biochemistry, denaturation is a process in which proteins or nucleic acids lose folded structure present in their native state due to various factors, including application of some external stress or compound, such as a strong acid or base, a concentrated inorganic salt, an organic solvent (e.g., alcohol or chloroform), agitation and radiation, or heat. [3]

  3. Temperature gradient gel electrophoresis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_gradient_gel...

    Temperature gradient gel electrophoresis (TGGE) and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) are forms of electrophoresis which use either a temperature or chemical gradient to denature the sample as it moves across an acrylamide gel. TGGE and DGGE can be applied to nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA, and (less commonly) proteins.

  4. Chaperone (protein) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaperone_(protein)

    In molecular biology, molecular chaperones are proteins that assist the conformational folding or unfolding of large proteins or macromolecular protein complexes. There are a number of classes of molecular chaperones, all of which function to assist large proteins in proper protein folding during or after synthesis, and after partial denaturation.

  5. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyacrylamide_gel...

    Picture of an SDS-PAGE. The molecular markers (ladder) are in the left lane. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) is a technique widely used in biochemistry, forensic chemistry, genetics, molecular biology and biotechnology to separate biological macromolecules, usually proteins or nucleic acids, according to their electrophoretic mobility.

  6. Hyperchromicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperchromicity

    The most famous example is the hyperchromicity of DNA that occurs when the DNA duplex is denatured. [1] The UV absorption is increased when the two single DNA strands are being separated, either by heat or by addition of denaturant or by increasing the pH level. The opposite, a decrease of absorbance is called hypochromicity.

  7. Denaturation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denaturation

    Denaturation (biochemistry), a structural change in macromolecules caused by extreme conditions; Denaturation (fissile materials), transforming fissile materials so that they cannot be used in nuclear weapons; Denaturation (food), intentional adulteration of food or drink rendering it unfit for consumption while remaining suitable for other uses

  8. Helicase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicase

    This helicase was described as a "DNA unwinding enzyme" that is "found to denature DNA duplexes in an ATP-dependent reaction, without detectably degrading". [13] The first eukaryotic DNA helicase discovered was in 1978 in the lily plant. [ 14 ]

  9. Globular protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globular_protein

    Even in the protein's denatured state, it can be folded into the correct structure. Globular proteins seem to have two mechanisms for protein folding, either the diffusion-collision model or nucleation condensation model, although recent findings have shown globular proteins, such as PTP-BL PDZ2, that fold with characteristic features of both ...
