General Biology Glossary: Population Genetics

Key Principles Population genetics is the study of genetic variation and evolutionary forces in breeding populations (aka, microevolution). Population geneticists are interested in the genetic structure, i.e., the allele and genotype freque

Cell Biology Glossary: Mismatch Repair

DNA REPLICATION: FACTORS THAT INCREASE FIDELITY • Increase fidelity to 1 mistake per 10^9 bases added 1. DNA Pol. proofreading capacity • DNA Pol. 3' to 5' exonuclease activity: can excise/replace incorrect nucleotides • Prokaryotes: DNA Pol. I

Biochemistry Glossary: Fatty Acid Biosynthesis

FATTY ACID BIOSYNTHESIS * Occurs in the liver and adipose tissue (cytosol) * After a carbohydrate-rich meal (high insulin:glucagon ratio) * Not just reverse of beta-oxidation: distinct enzymes and compartments Reactions 1. Citrate Shuttle 2. Ma

Biochemistry Glossary: Electron Transport Chain

ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN * Complex I: NADH dehydrogenase - aka NADH-CoQ reductase - NADH delivers 2 electrons to the complex I and is oxidized to NAD+ * CoQ (aka Q10 and ubiquinone) - Lipid-soluble - Mobile carrier - NOT a protein * Complex II: su
