  2. Molecular biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_biology

    Molecular biology is the study of the molecular underpinnings of the biological phenomena, focusing on molecular synthesis, modification, mechanisms and interactions. Biochemistry is the study of the chemical substances and vital processes occurring in living organisms .

  3. List of model organisms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_model_organisms

    Stentor coeruleus, used in molecular biology (its genome has been sequenced), [5] and is studied as a model of single-cell regeneration.; Dictyostelium discoideum, used in molecular biology and genetics (its genome has been sequenced), and is studied as an example of cell communication, differentiation, and programmed cell death.

  4. Molecular motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_motor

    Molecular motors are natural (biological) or artificial molecular machines that are the essential agents of movement in living organisms. In general terms, a motor is a device that consumes energy in one form and converts it into motion or mechanical work ; for example, many protein -based molecular motors harness the chemical free energy ...

  5. MHC class I - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MHC_class_I

    As an evolutionary response to this method of immune surveillance, many viruses are able to down-regulate or otherwise prevent the presentation of MHC class I molecules on the cell surface. In contrast to cytotoxic T lymphocytes, natural killer (NK) cells are normally inactivated upon recognizing MHC I molecules on the surface of cells.

  6. Fluorescence in situ hybridization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescence_in_situ...

    In biology, a probe is a single strand of DNA or RNA that is complementary to a nucleotide sequence of interest. RNA probes can be designed for any gene or any sequence within a gene for visualization of mRNA , [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] lncRNA [ 6 ] [ 7 ] [ 8 ] and miRNA in tissues and cells.

  7. SlideShare - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SlideShare

    On July 24, 2007, Slideshare introduced a format called "SlideCast" [10] [11] [12] to "make web multimedia using only a ppt file and an mp3". [11]According to Boutelle, the word slidecast is a portmanteau of "Slide show" and "podcasting".

  8. Chromosome jumping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosome_jumping

    Method for creating a chromosome jumping library. Chromosome jumping library is different from chromosome walking due to the manipulations executed before the cloning step. . In order to construct the library of chromosome jumping, individual clones originate from random points in the genome (general jumping libraries first basic protocol) or from the termini of specific restriction fragments ...

  9. Host–guest chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Host–guest_chemistry

    Host–guest chemistry encompasses the idea of molecular recognition and interactions through non-covalent bonding. Non-covalent bonding is critical in maintaining the 3D structure of large molecules, such as proteins and is involved in many biological processes in which large molecules bind specifically but transiently to one another.
