A respiration-deficient yeast mutant that produces small colonies when grown on glucose-containing medium.
Industry:Biotechnology
A retrovirus in which the single RNA strand has been converted into a double-strand DNA, which has been integrated into a host genome.
Industry:Biotechnology
A reversible interaction of a small molecule with a protein molecule, resulting in a change in the shape of the protein and a consequent alteration of the interaction of that protein with a third molecule.
Industry:Biotechnology
A reversible pigment system of a protein nature, found in the cytoplasm of green plants. Phytochrome is associated with the absorption of light that affects growth, development and differentiation of a plant, independent of photosynthesis, e.g., in the photoperiodic response.
Industry:Biotechnology
A ribbonlike protein structure formed between synapsed homologues at the end of the first meiotic prophase, binding the chromatids along their length and facilitating chromatid exchange.
Industry:Biotechnology
A right-handed DNA double helix that has 11 base pairs per turn. DNA exists in this form when partially dehydrated.
Industry:Biotechnology
A rigid external coat which surrounds plant cells. It is formed outside the plasmalemma and consists primarily of cellulose.
Industry:Biotechnology
A second mutation at the same site in a gene as the original mutation. The second mutation restores the wild-type nucleotide sequence.
Industry:Biotechnology
A section at one end of the X and Y chromosomes for which there is sufficient homology that there is pairing (synapsis) during meiosis I.
