a Related Biological Terms:

electron transport chain (respiratory chain)

Usually, mitochondrial electron transport.

electron transport particle

(= submitochondrial particle (SMP))

electron-transfer potential

A quantitative measure of the ability of a molecule to lose an electron in a redox reaction under standard conditions; expressed in volts (V). (see also redox potential (Eo'))

electronegativity

The degree to which an atom or chemical group holds its electrons in competition with the atoms or groups to which it is bonded.

electronic strain

The distorted distribution of electrons in a substrate induced by the proximity of a strong dipole in the enzyme, e.g. Zn2+ in carboxypeptidase.

electropermeabilization

A technique for the introduction of materials into an intact cell. Cells are subjected to a strong electric field which causes them to become temporarily permeable and thus take up molecules from their environment that would otherwise remain excluded from them. Also known as electrical breakdown, electropermeation, electroporation and high voltage electrical discharge. Schulz, I. (1990) Methods Enzymol. 192, 280-300 Learn more about restriction enzymes.

electropermeation

(= electropermeabilization)

electropherogram

A graphical representation of an electrophoretic separation; e.g. for a slab gel, absorbance (ordinate) plotted as a function of distance from the origin (abscissa)

electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA)

(= gel shift assay (electrophoretic mobility shift assay; EMSA))

electroporation

(= electropermeabilization)
