residue
(Science: biochemistry) A single unit within a polymer, such as an amino acid within a polypeptide or protein.
Numerous proteins have clusters of basic (or basic/hydrophobic) residues that bind to these acidic lipids.
residue management. Management of rice straw and stubble after harvest.
resistant. Able to tolerate conditions (such as pesticide sprays or pest damage) harmful to other strains of the same species.
Residues in α-helices typically adopt backbone (φ, ψ) dihedral angles around (-60°, -45°). More generally, they adopt dihedral angles such that the ψ dihedral angle of one residue and the φ dihedral angle of the next residue sum to roughly -105°.
The residues ("tailings") of mines often contain such high concentrations of toxic metals (e.g., copper, lead) that most plants are unable to grow on them.
Amino acid residue is what is left of an amino acid once a water molecule has been lost (an H+ from the nitrogenous side and an OH- from the carboxylic side) in the formation of a peptide bond .

However, these residues are critically important for ligand binding to proteins, and play central roles in protein stability. Note also that the β carbon of isoleucine is optically active, just as the β carbon of threonine.
Recruitment. The residue of those larvae that have: (1) dispersed; (2) settled at the adult site; (3) made some final movements toward the adult habitat; (4) metamorphosed successfully, and (5) survived to be detected by the observer ...
Catalyzes the addition of adenine residues to the 3' end of pre-mRNAs to form the poly(A) tail. (See Polymerase.) Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
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.
On a genomic scale, our technique uses stable-isotope-labeled precursors-particular nucleotides for DNA, or amino acids for proteins-to label DNA or protein molecules residue-specifically for MS analysis.
The first function is to attach it to the cell surface, it does that by attaching to particular sugar residues that are always present on all animal cells.
Phosophotransfer between a histidine residue on the sensor domain and an aspartate residue inÊthe response regulator domain determines the phosphorylation state of the response regulator.
Phospholipids are a heterogeneous type of molecule composed of glycerol, phosphate, two fatty acid residues, and 'headgroups' with different chemical properties.
Material in the large intestine is mostly indigestible residue and liquid. Movements are due to involuntary contractions that shuffle contents back and forth and propulsive contractions that move material through the large intestine.
Cap: A methylated guanine residue (GTP), which is added to the 5' end of eukaryotic mRNAs in a post-transcriptional reaction. It protects the mRNA against 5'-exonuclease, stabilises the mRNA and enhances its translation.
A methylated guanine residue added in reverse polarity (ie 3'pMeG5'ppp5'NpNp3') to the 5' end of eukaryotic mRNA during transcription initiation. The cap binds a cap binding protein and acts as an initial binding site for ribosomes during translation.

A post-replication process. Cytosine residues in CpG sequences are methylated, forming gene-specific methylation patterns. Methylation of promoter regions correlates with gene expression patterns.

Leucine zipper: A motif found in certain proteins in which Leu residues are evenly spaced through an a-helical region, such that they would end up on the same face of the helix. Dimers can form between two such proteins.
Attachment of methyl groups (-CH3) to DNA most commonly at cytosine residues. May be involved in regulation of gene expression. Also may prevent some restriction endonucleases from cutting DNA at their recognition sites.
