at Related Biological Terms:

Entner-Doudoroff fermentation

The metabolism of glucose, e.g. by Pseudomonas fluorescens, via 6-phosphogluconic acid and 2-oxo-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconic acid to pyruvate and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.

electromicrofiltration

A separation procedure in which an electric field is imposed upon an ultrafiltration membrane in order to prevent non-permeable material from accumulating on and clogging it.

electron transport chain (respiratory chain)

Usually, mitochondrial electron transport.

electronegativity

The degree to which an atom or chemical group holds its electrons in competition with the atoms or groups to which it is bonded.

electropermeabilization

A technique for the introduction of materials into an intact cell. Cells are subjected to a strong electric field which causes them to become temporarily permeable and thus take up molecules from their environment that would otherwise remain excluded from them. Also known as electrical breakdown, electropermeation, electroporation and high voltage electrical discharge. Schulz, I. (1990) Methods Enzymol. 192, 280-300 Learn more about restriction enzymes.

elongation cycle

The reactions of a ribosome that add one amino acid residue to the C-terminus of a growing polypeptide chain and move the ribosome three nucleotides towards the 3'-end of the mRNA.

elongation factor

An accessory protein that is required for transfer of amino acid residues to the polypeptide chain during translation.
