p. 33

Negatively charged amino acids. This set of amino acids contains two with acidic side chains: aspartic acid and glutamic acid (Figure 2.11).

p. 155

The development of next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms has extended this capability to formerly unforeseen levels.

p. 906

In fact, protein synthesis in bacteria starts with the modified amino acid N-formylmethionine (fMet).

NF-?B  n.

p. 687

A transcription factor called NF-kB (NF for nuclear factor) initiates the expression of a number of the genes that take part in this response.


N-glycolylneuraminate  n.

p. 772

This oligosaccharide chain contains at least one acidic sugar, either N-acetylneuraminate or N-glycolylneuraminate.


NGS  n. (next-generation sequencing)

p. 155

The development of next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms has extended this capability to formerly unforeseen levels.

p. 849

One mechanism, nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ), does not depend on other DNA molecules in the cell.

El sinònim no és neològic.


N-linkage  n.

p. 326

Sugars in glycoproteins are attached either to the amide nitrogen atom in the side chain of asparagine (termed an N-linkage) or to the oxygen atom in the side chain of serine or threonine (termed an O-linkage), as shown in Figure 11.15.


N-linked sugar  n.

The O-linked sugar units are fashioned there, and the N-linked sugars, arriving from the ER as a component of a glycoprotein, are modified in many different ways.

p. 99

The basis of this technique is the nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE), an interaction between nuclei that is proportional to the inverse sixth power of the distance between them.
