A nucleic acid test, often called a "NAT", (or nucleic acid amplification test - "NAAT") is a molecular technique used to detect a virus or a bacterium. These tests were developed to shorten the wi...
Semiconductor structure fabrication
Geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthetase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GGPS1 gene.[1][2][3] This gene is a member of the prenyltransferase family and encodes a protein with gerany...
Manipulation of large genomic regions
RAD52 homolog (S. cerevisiae), also known as RAD52, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the RAD52 gene. The protein encoded by this gene shares similarity with Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rad5...
The name electrospray is used for an apparatus that employs electricity to disperse a liquid or for the fine aerosol resulting from this process. The method is sometimes improperly called electrohy...

Display for three-dimensional images
Calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) is a member of the calcitonin family of peptides, which in humans exists in two forms, α-CGRP and β-CGRP. α-CGRP is a 37-amino acid peptide and is formed from...
Mass spectrometry (MS) is an analytical chemistry technique that helps identify the amount and type of chemicals present in a sample by measuring the mass-to-charge ratio and abundance of gas-phase...
Targeted cleavage of RNA
Notch (DSL) proteins are a family of transmembrane proteins with repeated extracellular EGF domains and the notch (or DSL) domains. These proteins are involved in lateral inhibition in embryogenesis.
Altered plant development
DNA-binding proteins [3][4][5] are proteins that are composed of DNA-binding domains and thus have a specific or general affinity for either single or double stranded DNA. Sequence-specific DNA-bin...
Lyme disease, also known as Lyme borreliosis, is an infectious disease caused by bacteria of the Borrelia type.[1] The most common sign of infection is an expanding area of redness, known as erythe...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is the resistance of a microbe to one or more antimicrobial agents,[2] which are used to treat or prevent infection. Resistance is either innate or acquired – referri...
Optical scanning tomography
Insertional mutagenesis is mutagenesis of DNA by the insertion of one or more bases.[1] Insertional mutations can occur naturally, mediated by virus or transposon, or can be artificially created...
Amines (US: /əˈmiːnz/ or /ˈæminz/,[1] UK: /əˈmiːnz/, /ˈæmɪnz/ or /ˈeɪminz/)[2][3] are organic compounds and functional groups that contain a basic nitrogen atom with a lone pair. Amines are derivat...
A metalloproteinase, or metalloprotease, is any protease enzyme whose catalytic mechanism involves a metal. An example of this would be meltrin which plays a significant role in the fusion of muscl...
