octadecanoic acid  n.

p. 342

For example, the C18 saturated fatty acid is called octadecanoic acid because the parent hydrocarbon is octadecane.


odd-chain fatty acid  n.

p. 654

Odd-chain fatty acids yield propionyl CoA in the final thiolysis step


off-diagonal peak  n.

p. 99

The peaks apart from the diagonal (shown in red in Figure 3.45B), referred to as off-diagonal peaks or cross-peaks, provide crucial new information: they identify pairs of protons that are less that 5 xangstrommx apart.


olfactory neuron  n.

p. 964

Interestingly, each olfactory neuron expresses only a single OR gene, among hundreds available.


oligomeric 7TM receptor  n.

p. 969

The requirement for an oligomeric 7TM receptor for a fully functional response is surprising, considering our previous understanding of 7TM receptors.


oligosaccharide chain  n.

p. 772

In a ganglioside, an oligosaccharide chain is linked to the terminal hydroxyl group of ceramide by a glucose residue (Figure 26.4).


O-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.


O-linked sugar  n.

p. 330

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.


one-carbon group  n.

p. 723

TABLE 24.2 One-carbon groups carried by tetrahydrofolate

El context és en una taula.


one-dimensional NMR  n.

p. 98

Most protons in many proteins can be resolved by using this technique of one-dimensional NMR.


open promoter complex  n.

p. 865-866

The transition from the closed promoter complex (in which DNA is double helical) to the open promoter complex (in which a DNA segment is unwound) is an essential event in transcription (Figure 29.12).


operator site  n.

p. 928

The genetic elements of the model are a regulator gene that encodes a regulatory protein, a regulatory DNA sequence called an operator site, and a set of structural genes (Figure 31.7).


OR  n. (odorant receptor)

p. 963

The odorant receptor (hereafter, OR) family is even larger than expected: more than 1000 OR genes are present in the mouse and the rat, whereas the human genome encodes approximately 350 ORs.

ORC  n. (origin of replication complex)

p. 843

Instead, more broadly defined AT-rich sequences are the sites around which the origin of replication complexes (ORCs) are assembled.


ORF  n. (open reading frame)

p. 177

Of 1743 identified protein-coding regions, also called open reading frames (ORFs), 1007 (58%) could be linked to some protein of known function that had been previously characterized in another organism.

origin of replication complex  n. (ORC)

p. 843

Instead, more broadly defined AT-rich sequences are the sites around which the origin of replication complexes (ORCs) are assembled.


orotate phosphoribosyltransferase  n.

p. 747

The enzyme that catalyzes this addition, orotate phosphoribosyltransferase, is homologous to a number of other phosphoribosyltransferase that add different groups to PRPP to form the other nucleotides.


overall entropy  n.

p. 12

There is negative free-energy change when and only when the overall entropy of the universe is increased.


oxidative deamination  n.

p. 687

Alpha-amino groups are converted into ammonium ions by the oxidative deamination of glutamate


oxidative decarboxylation  n.

p. 505

Succinyl coenzyme A is formed by the oxidative decarboxylation of alpha-ketoglutarate


oxidized form  n.

p. 435

In the oxidized form, the nitrogen atom carries a positive charge, as indicated by NAD+.


oxidized lipoamide  n.

p. 499

4. Regeneration of oxidized lipoamide. The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex cannot complete another catalytic cycle until the dihydrolipoamide is oxidized to lipoamide.


oxoguanine-adenine base pair  n.

p. 846

FIGURE 28.32 Oxoguanine-adenine base pair. When guanine is oxidized to 8-oxoguanine, the damaged base can form a base pair with adenine through an edge of the base that does not normally participate in base-pair formation.


oxygen affinity  n.

p. 200

2,3-Biphosphoglycerate in red cells is crucial in determining the oxygen affinity of hemoglobin


oxygen binding  n.

p. 193

Changes in heme electronic structure upon oxygen binding are the basis for functional imaging studies


oxygen delivery  n.

p. 196

FIGURE 7.9 Cooperativity enhances oxygen delivery by hemoglobin.


oxygen transport  n.

p. 201

Carbon monoxide can disrupt oxygen transport by hemoglobin
