HbA  n. (hemoglobin A)

p. 195

The hemoglobin tetramer, referred to as hemoglobin A (HbA), is best described as a pair of identical xalfaxxbetax dimers (xalfax1xbetax1 and xalfax2xbetax2) that associate to form the tetramer.

HbH  n. (hemoglobin H)

p. 207

The tetramers, referred to as hemoglobin H (HbH), bind oxygen with high affinity and no cooperativity.

p. 307

An account of a hemorrhagic disposition existing in certain families


hereditary information  n.

p. 114

4.3 The Double Helix Facilitates the Accurate Transmission of Hereditary Information


hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer  n. (HNPCC)

p. 851

For example, hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC, or Lynch syndrome) results from defective DNA mismatch repair.


hERG  n.

p. 389

In particular, the K+ channel hERG (for human ether-a-go-go-related gene, named for its ortholog in Drosophila melanogaster) is highly susceptible to interactions with certain drugs.


heterodimeric sweet receptor  n.

p. 968

FIGURE 33.16 Evidence for a heterodimeric sweet receptor.


hexose monophosphate pool  n.

p. 594-595

The mixture of the three phosphorylated hexoses is called the hexose monophosphate pool.


high-energy electron  n.

p. 496

The citric acid cycle harvests high-energy electrons


highly cohesive  n.

p. 9

2. Water is highly cohesive. Water molecules interact strongly with one another through hydrogen bonds.


highly parallel  n.

p. 155

All of these methods are highly parallel: from 1 million to 1 billion DNA fragment sequences are acquired in a single experiment.


histone code  n.

p. 954

The relacion between various histone modifications and their roles in controlling gene expression is sometimes referred to as "the histone code."


histone octamer  n.

p. 943

DNA wraps around histone octamers to form nucleosomes


HLA-A2  n. (leukocyte antigen A2)

p. 996

The three-dimensional structure of a large extracellular fragment of a human MHC class I protein, human leukocyte antigen A2 (HLA-A2), was solved in 1987 by Don Wiley and Pamela Bjorkman.


HMM  n. (heavy meromyosin)

p. 1013

The treatment of myosin with trypsin and papain results in the formation of four fragments: two S1 fragments; heavy meromyosin (HMM) which consists of the S1 fragments and an additional region termed S2; and a fragment called light meromyosin (LMM; Figure 35.2).

HNPCC  n. (hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer)

p. 851

For example, hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC, or Lynch syndrome) results from defective DNA mismatch repair.


homocysteine level  n.

p. 726

High homocysteine levels correlate with vascular diseases


homolytic cleavage reaction  n.

p. 655

In this homolytic cleavage reaction, one electron of the Co-C bond stays with Co (reducing it from the +3 to the +2 oxidation state), whereas the other electron stays with the carbon atom, generating a free radical.


Hsp70  n. (heat shock protein 70)

p. 179

A case in point is the protein actin, a major component of the cytoskeleton (Section 35.2), and heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70), which assists protein folding inside cells.

p. 875

For example, heat-shock transcription factor (HSTF) is expressed in Drosophila after an abrupt increase in temperature.

p. 19

FIGURE 1.21 Human migration supported by DNA sequence comparisons.


human proteome  n.

p. 1048

Potential targets can be identified in the human proteome


Hurler disease  n.

p. 328

Formerly called gargoylism, Hurler disease is a mucopolysaccharidosis having symptoms that include wide nostrils, a depressed nasal bridge, thick lips and earlobes, and irregular teeth.


hybridoma cell  n.

p. 81

Hybridoma cells can then be screened by a specific assay for the antigen-antibody interaction to determine which ones produce antibodies of the preferred specificity.


hydrocarbon tail  n.

p. 348

Their polar head groups favor contact with water, whereas their hydrocarbon tails interact with one another in preference to water.


hydrogen-bond donor  n.

p. 8

The hydrogen-bond donor is the group that includes both the atom to which the hydrogen atom is more tightly linked and the hydrogen atom itself, whereas the hydrogen-bond acceptor is the atom less tightly linked to the hydrogen atom (Figure 1.9).


hydrolytic reaction  n.

p. 441

5.Hydrolytic reactions cleave bonds by the addition of water.


hydrolyze, to  v.

p. 426

A large amount of free energy is liberated when ATP is hydrolyzed to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and orthophosphate (Pi) or when ATP is hydrolyzed to adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and pyrophosphate (PPi).


hydrophilic amino acid  n.

p. 47

Some proteins that span biological membranes are "the exceptions that prove the rule" because they have the reverse distribution of hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acids.


hydrophilic moiety  n.

p. 347

A membrane lipid is an amphipathic molecule containing a hydrophilic and a hydrophobic moiety


hydrophobic moiety  n.

p. 347

A membrane lipid is an amphipathic molecule containing a hydrophilic and a hydrophobic moiety


hyperbaric oxygen therapy  n.

p. 202

One treatment for carbon monoxide poisoning is administration of 100% oxygen, often at pressures greater than atmospheric pressure (this treatment is referred to as hyperbaric oxygen therapy).
