Pairing is brought about in a zipper-like fashion and may start at the centromere ( procentric ), at the chromosome ends ( proterminal ), or at any other portion ( intermediate ).

The cover painting, titled " Snakecharmer & Reclining Octopus " by Barney Bubbles ( but credited to " Sal Forlenza ") is a pastiche of " Three Musicians " by Pablo Picasso, and letters on the zipper-like creatures in the upper right spell " PABLO SI ".

The process of denaturation on a denaturing gel is very sharp: " Rather than partially melting in a continuous zipper-like manner, most fragments melt in a step-wise process.

Drug is added to either a protein or mineral supplement for a period of 7 or 14 days.

In the absence of additions to the homogenate, the product formed is an iodinated particulate protein ( Fawcett and Kirkwood, 1953 ; ;

There is some reason to think that thyroglobulin synthesis may proceed independently of iodination, for in certain transplantable tumours of the rat thyroid containing essentially no iodinated thyroglobulin, a protein that appears to be thyroglobulin has been observed in ultracentrifuge experiments ( Wolff, Robbins and Rall, 1959 ).

In West Africa, for example, where meat is a luxury and babies must be weaned early to make room at the breast for later arrivals, a childhood menace is kwashiorkor, or `` Red Johnny '', a growth-stunting protein deficiency ( signs: reddish hair, bloated belly ) that kills more than half its victims, leaves the rest prey for parasites and lingering tropical disease.

Although the fatty protein molecules, carried in the blood and partly composed of cholesterol, are water soluble, cholesterol itself is insoluble, and cannot be destroyed by the body.

The process of making proteins is called translation and involves the step-by-step addition of amino acids to a growing protein chain by a ribozyme that is called a ribosome.

Non-standard amino acids that are found in proteins are formed by post-translational modification, which is modification after translation during protein synthesis.

These modifications are often essential for the function or regulation of a protein ; for example, the carboxylation of glutamate allows for better binding of calcium cations, and the hydroxylation of proline is critical for maintaining connective tissues.

Between the layers of tiles is a clingy protein substance.

When the abalone shell is struck, the tiles slide instead of shattering and the protein stretches to absorb the energy of the blow.

Because this protein gp120 is necessary for HIV to attach, it does not change across different strains and is a point of vulnerability across the entire range of the HIV variant population.

An autoantigen is usually a normal protein or complex of proteins ( and sometimes DNA or RNA ) that is recognized by the immune system of patients suffering from a specific autoimmune disease.

An antibody ( Ab ), also known as an immunoglobulin ( Ig ), is a large Y-shaped protein produced by B-cells that is used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects such as bacteria and viruses.

Though the general structure of all antibodies is very similar, a small region at the tip of the protein is extremely variable, allowing millions of antibodies with slightly different tip structures, or antigen binding sites, to exist.

Another form of natural adhesive is blood albumen ( made from protein component of blood ), which is used in the plywood industry.

Once cytochrome c is released it binds with Apoptotic protease activating factor-1 ( Apaf-1 ) and ATP, which then bind to pro-caspase-9 to create a protein complex known as an apoptosome.

Phosphatidylserine is normally found on the cytosolic surface of the plasma membrane, but is redistributed during apoptosis to the extracellular surface by a hypothetical protein known as scramblase.

But the most fundamental objection he has to poets appears in the Tenth Book, and it is derived from his doctrine of ideal forms.

In Plato's mind there is an irresolvable conflict between the poet and the philosopher, because the poet imitates only particular objects and is incapable of rising to the first level of abstraction, much less the highest level of ideal forms.

It is this larger theme of the `` quality of man '', a quality that transcends the ideological and flows into `` the human '', which now forms the pulsating heart of Malraux's artistic universe.

Lawrence Ferlenghetti and Bruce Lippincott have concentrated on writing a new poetry for reading with jazz that is very closely related to both the musical forms of jazz, and the vocabulary of the musician.

This is being done both by the revaluation of real property and by seeking out forms of personal property hitherto neglected or ignored.

The service is brief and variety in forms of worship is practiced.

It is possible that certain mutational forms may be produced such as antibiotic resistant strains.

The importance of knowing in what chemical forms the hormone may exist is accentuated by the recent observation that there exists an abnormally long-acting TSH in blood drawn from many thyrotoxic patients ( Adams, 1958 ).

Of all the possible forms of nonverbal expression, that which seems best to give release, and communicational expression, to complex and undifferentiated feelings is laughter.

in working with these patients the therapist eventually gets to do some at least private mulling over of the possible meaning of a belch, or the passage of flatus, not only because he is reduced to this for lack of anything else to analyze, but also because he learns that even these animal-like sounds constitute forms of communication in which, from time to time, quite different things are being said, long before the patient can become sufficiently aware of these, as distinct feelings and concepts, to say them in words.

We accomplish this by compiling a list of text forms as text is read by the computer.

The dictionary is a form dictionary, at least in the sense that complete forms are used as the basis for matching text occurrences with dictionary entries.

Also, the dictionary is divided into at least two parts: the list of dictionary forms and the file of information that pertains to these forms.

The first is compiling a list of text forms, assigning an information cell to each, and replacing text occurrences with the information cell assigned to the form of each occurrence.

For this step the computer memory is separated into three regions: cells in the W-region are used for storage of the forms in the text-form list ; ;

When, as in this case, the two forms match, the address Af is saved to represent the occurrence Af.

Text reading is terminated when a pre-determined number of forms have been stored in the text-form list.

The number of dictionary forms skipped since the last one matched is also saved.

If each text form is marked when matched with a dictionary form, the text forms not contained in the dictionary can be identified when all dictionary forms have been read.

The dictionary form is compared with each of these text forms.

The order is identical to the ordering of the forms they describe.
