The skeletal muscles of the body typically come in seven different general shapes. This figure shows the human body with the major muscle groups labeled. The gross anatomy of a muscle is the most important indicator of its role in the body. One particularly important aspect of gross anatomy of muscles is pennation or lack thereof. In most ...
Older set of terminology shown in Parts of the Human Body: Posterior and Anterior View from the 1933 edition of Sir Henry Morris' Human Anatomy. Many of these terms are medical latin terms that have fallen into disuse. Front: Frons - forehead; Facies - face; Pectus - breast; Latus - flank; Coxa - hip; Genu - knee; Pes - foot; Back: Vertex ...
(affinis): having affinity with, similar but not identical to; auct. : of the authors; indicates that a name is used in the sense of subsequent authors, and not in the sense of the original author; Ca. : for candidate names of organisms that have not been completely accepted
Weak affinity chromatography [29] (WAC) is an affinity chromatography technique for affinity screening in drug development. [30] [31] WAC is an affinity-based liquid chromatographic technique that separates chemical compounds based on their different weak affinities to an immobilized target. The higher affinity a compound has towards the target ...
Low-affinity binding (high K i level) implies that a relatively high concentration of a ligand is required before the binding site is maximally occupied and the maximum physiological response to the ligand is achieved. In the example shown to the right, two different ligands bind to the same receptor binding site.
The signal transduction component labeled as "MAPK" in the pathway was originally called "ERK," so the pathway is called the MAPK/ERK pathway. The MAPK protein is an enzyme, a protein kinase that can attach phosphate to target proteins such as the transcription factor MYC and, thus, alter gene transcription and, ultimately, cell cycle ...
An isotope-coded affinity tag (ICAT) is an in-vitro isotopic labeling method used for quantitative proteomics by mass spectrometry that uses chemical labeling reagents. [1] [2] [3] These chemical probes consist of three elements: a reactive group for labeling an amino acid side chain (e.g., iodoacetamide to modify cysteine residues), an isotopically coded linker, and a tag (e.g., biotin) for ...
The ulna or ulnar bone (pl.: ulnae or ulnas) [3] is a long bone in the forearm stretching from the elbow to the wrist.It is on the same side of the forearm as the little finger, running parallel to the radius, the forearm's other long bone.
