atom The basic unit of matter; the smallest complete unit of the elements, consisting of protons, neutrons, and electrons. atomic mass A mass unit determined by arbitrarily assigning the carbon-12 isotope a mass of 12 atomic mass units.

An atom or group of atoms carrying an electric charge by virtue of having gained or lost one or more electrons.

An atom with only one shell requires two electrons to complete its outer shell. Atoms with more than one shell require 8 electrons to complete their outer shells. Periodic Table of the Elements ...

ion -- an atom or small molecule which carries a positive or negative charge.

a hydrogen atom an amino group (hence "amino" acid) a carboxyl group (-COOH). This gives up a proton and is thus an acid (hence amino "acid") one of 20 different "R" groups.

label A compound or atom that is either attached to or incorporated into a macromolecule and is used to detect the presence of a compound, substance, or macromolecule in a sample. a.k.a. tag.

A unit of measurement equal to the mass of a hydrogen atom, 1.67 x 10E-24 gram/L (Avogadro's number). Death phase. The final growth phase, during which nutrients have been depleted and cell number decreases. (See Growth phase. Denature.

carbanion A negatively charged carbon atom. carbocation (AKA) carbonium ion A positively charged carbon atom.

5' or 3' end The nucleoside residues which form nucleic acids are joined by phosphodiester linkages between the 3' C atom of one ribose moiety and the 5' C atom of the next.

This `dark side' of oxygen relates directly to the fact that each oxygen atom has one unpaired electron in its outer valence shell, and molecular oxygen has two unpaired electrons.

Biology is a science full of terms and concepts that range from the hard-to-imagine, such as the structure of an atom, to those we see every day, such as the structure of our own face in the mirror. How are these ideas and concepts related?

A weak electrostatic link between an electronegative atom (such as oxygen) and a hydrogen atom which is linked covalently to another electronegative atom; hydrogen bonding is what makes water stick to itself. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) ...

Hydrogen bond A weak electrostatic link between an electronegative atom (such as oxygen) and a hydrogen atom which is linked covalently to another electronegative atom; hydrogen bonding is what makes water stick to itself.

We're really reducing the question down to the smallest atom, and trying to understand at an anatomical level the structure of this receptor and how it's activated and how is it doing its job during this process of male sexual differentiation.

A reversible change in the position of a hydrogen atom in a molecule which results in the conversion of the molecule between different isomers. A shift between the keto group and a enoyl group in nucleotides can result in altered base-pairing.

Hydrogen bond. A relatively weak bond formed between a hydrogen atom (which is covalently bound to a nitrogen or oxygen atom) and a nitrogen or oxygen with an unshared electron pair.

Dalton - measure of molecular weight or mass. One hydrogen atom has mass of 1 Da. Proteins and other macromolecule molecular weights are usually measured in kDa or kD (kilodaltons) - 1000 Da.

A chemical process in which either electrons are lost from an atom, or oxygen is added to a molecule. Oxidation may also occur without the addition of oxygen if hydrogen is removed (dehydrogenation.) Covered in BIOL1020 Lab 4 Cell Energetics I ...
