  2. Visual cryptography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_cryptography

    But if one of the two shares is structured recursively, the efficiency of visual cryptography can be increased to 100%. [5] Some antecedents of visual cryptography are in patents from the 1960s. [6] [7] Other antecedents are in the work on perception and secure communication. [8] [9] Visual cryptography can be used to protect biometric ...

  3. Extendable-output function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extendable-output_function

    Extendable-output function (XOF) is an extension [1] of the cryptographic hash that allows its output to be arbitrarily long. In particular, the sponge construction makes any sponge hash a natural XOF: the squeeze operation can be repeated, and the regular hash functions with a fixed-size result are obtained from a sponge mechanism by stopping the squeezing phase after obtaining the fixed ...

  4. Genetic code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_code

    Soviet-American physicist George Gamow was the first to give a workable scheme for protein synthesis from DNA. [3] He postulated that sets of three bases (triplets) must be employed to encode the 20 standard amino acids used by living cells to build proteins, which would allow a maximum of 4 3 = 64 amino acids. [ 4 ]

  5. Initiation factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initiation_factor

    Once the initiation factor helps the tRNA bind, the GTP hydrolyzes and is released the eIF2. The eIF2 beta subunit is identified by its Zn-finger. The eIF2 alpha subunit is characterized by an OB-fold domain and two beta strands. This subunit helps to regulate translation, as it becomes phosphorylated to inhibit protein synthesis. [2]

  6. De novo protein synthesis theory of memory formation

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_novo_protein_synthesis...

    This gave rise to the de novo protein synthesis theory: the formation of a long-term memory requires the synthesis of new proteins. Eric Kandel established many of the biochemical markers of learning and memory in the Aplysia (California sea slug) in the 1970s, as his findings suggested potential pathways surrounding protein synthesis. [2]

  7. Peptidyl transferase center - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peptidyl_transferase_center

    The peptidyl transferase center (EC 2.3.2.12) is an aminoacyltransferase ribozyme (RNA enzyme) located in the large subunit of the ribosome.It forms peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids during the translation process of protein biosynthesis. [1]

  8. Levinthal's paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levinthal's_paradox

    Levinthal's paradox is a thought experiment in the field of computational protein structure prediction; protein folding seeks a stable energy configuration. An algorithmic search through all possible conformations to identify the minimum energy configuration (the native state) would take an immense duration; however in reality protein folding happens very quickly, even in the case of the most ...

  9. Vectorial synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vectorial_synthesis

    Vectorial synthesis is synthesis of exported proteins by ribosomes in which the ribosome-nascent chain complex is bound directly to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the nascent peptide chain moves through the ER membrane as it emerges from the ribosome.
