Combination of host and vector which provides a genetic context for making a cloned gene function, i.e., produce peptide, in the host cell.
Industry:Biotechnology
Common proteins in blood, eggs and milk, and as a reserve protein in seeds. Globulins are insoluble in water, but soluble in salt solutions. Alpha, beta and gamma globulins can be distinguished in blood serum. Gamma globulins are important in developing immunity to diseases.
Industry:Biotechnology
Competition between different spermatozoa to reach and fertilize the egg cell of a single female.
Industry:Biotechnology
Complementation that occurs between two mutant alleles of a gene; common only when the product of the gene functions as a homomultimer.
Industry:Biotechnology
Compound preventing cell damage during freezing and thawing processes. Cryoprotectants are agents with high water solubility and low toxicity. Two types of cryoprotectant agent are commonly used: permeating (glycerol and DMSO (q.v.)) and non-permeating (sugars, dextran, ethylene glycol, polyvinyl pyrolidone and hydroxyethyl starch).
Industry:Biotechnology
Compounds with hydroxyl group(s) attached to the benzene ring, forming esters, ethers and salts. Phenolic substances are produced from newly explanted tissues, oxidizing to form coloured compounds visible in nutrient media.
