Biology: The science of life — of complex, self-organizing, information-processing systems living in the past, present or future. [e]
Life: Living systems, of which biologists seek the commonalities distinguishing them from non-living systems. [e]
Biochemistry
Biochemistry: The chemistry of living things; a field of both biology and chemistry. [e]
Metabolism: The modification of chemical substances by living organisms. [e]
Ion channel: Gated, ion-selective glycoproteins that traverse membranes. The stimulus for channel gating can be a membrane potential, drug, transmitter, cytoplasmic messenger, or a mechanical deformation. [e]
- Protein synthesis: "a certain kind of natural production (or biosynthesis) of polypeptides for protein molecules according to a nucleic acid code" [e]
- Oxidative phosphorylation: A process in which ATP is formed by coupling the transfer of electrons through a series of electron carriers to proton gradients across a biological membrane; most frequently associated mitochondria and their role in aerobic respiration. [e]
- Anaerobic respiration: Add brief definition or description
- Active site: Add brief definition or description
Adenosine triphosphate: A molecule sometimes called the "energy currency" of a cell [e]
Antibody: In physiology, antibodies are "immunoglobulin molecules having a specific amino acid sequence by virtue of which they interact only with the antigen (or a very similar shape) that induced their synthesis in cells of the lymphoid series (especially plasma cells). National Library of Medicine [e]
- ATP synthase: Add brief definition or description
- Carbohydrate: Organic compounds containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen; includes sugars and starches that provide energy to living organisms and form an important part of the diet of most animals. [e]
- Chemiosmosis: Add brief definition or description
- Electron transport chain: (ETC) A series of biochemical reactions that couple a chemical reaction between an electron donor and an electron acceptor to the transfer of protons across a membrane. [e]
- Enzyme kinetics: The time course of chemical reactions catalyzed by enzymes. [e]
- Fat: Adipose tissue; the body's main store of energy. [e]
- Glycoprotein: "a protein with a carbohydrate (saccharide) group bonded to it" [e]
- Michaelis-Menten kinetics: Add brief definition or description
Monoclonal antibody: Highly specific antibodies produced in large quantity by the clones of a single hybrid cell formed in the laboratory by the fusion of a B cell with a tumor cell. [e]
- Myosin: Add brief definition or description
Peptide: Compound containing two or more amino acids linked by a peptide bond, called dipeptide, tripeptide, etc., depending on the number of amino acids present. [e]
- Protein phosphorylation: Add brief definition or description
Polypeptide: Compound containing multiple amino acids linked into a chain by peptide bonda; they constitute the basic structure of proteins. [e]
- Polysaccharide: "a polymer consisting of multiple saccharide (carbohydrate or sugar) units bonded together as monomers, typically in the cyclic saccharide form" [e]
Protein folding: The physical process by which a polypeptide folds into its characteristic and functional three-dimensional structure from random coil. [e]
