Guanine nucleotide exchange factorGuanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) are proteins or protein domains that activate monomeric GTPases by stimulating the release of guanosine diphosphate (GDP) to allow binding of guanosine triphosphate (GTP). A variety of unrelated structural domains have been shown to exhibit guanine nucleotide exchange activity. Some GEFs can activate multiple GTPases while others are specific to a single GTPase. Guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) are proteins or protein domains involved in the activation of small GTPases.
Hsp90Hsp90 est une classe de protéines chaperonnes jouant en temps normal un rôle de protection du bon repliement tridimensionnel des protéines animales ou végétales, notamment en condition de chocs thermiques (HSP signifie heat shock protein, 90 désignant sa masse moléculaire). On soupçonne que sa déficience ou son inhibition lors de certaines situations de stress entrainerait une recrudescence de mutations non-mendéliennes ou épigénétiques lorsque des espèces traversent des conditions difficiles.
Structural genomicsStructural genomics seeks to describe the 3-dimensional structure of every protein encoded by a given genome. This genome-based approach allows for a high-throughput method of structure determination by a combination of experimental and modeling approaches. The principal difference between structural genomics and traditional structural prediction is that structural genomics attempts to determine the structure of every protein encoded by the genome, rather than focusing on one particular protein.
Multilevel modelMultilevel models (also known as hierarchical linear models, linear mixed-effect model, mixed models, nested data models, random coefficient, random-effects models, random parameter models, or split-plot designs) are statistical models of parameters that vary at more than one level. An example could be a model of student performance that contains measures for individual students as well as measures for classrooms within which the students are grouped.
Métabolisme acido-basiqueLe métabolisme acido-basique est la partie du métabolisme régulant l'acidité du sang, le pH sanguin devant demeurer entre des limites physiologiques très étroites, 7,38 et 7,42. On parle d'acidose au-dessous de 7,38 et d'alcalose au-dessus de 7,42, toutes deux pouvant être d'origine métabolique ou bien respiratoire. Équilibre acido-basique Les sources acides ou basiques sont nombreuses, particulièrement pour les acides qui sont tirés des aliments et le métabolisme interne (respiration cellulaire : le dioxyde de carbone est un acide qui se combine avec l'eau).
Interaction techniqueAn interaction technique, user interface technique or input technique is a combination of hardware and software elements that provides a way for computer users to accomplish a single task. For example, one can go back to the previously visited page on a Web browser by either clicking a button, pressing a key, performing a mouse gesture or uttering a speech command. It is a widely used term in human-computer interaction. In particular, the term "new interaction technique" is frequently used to introduce a novel user interface design idea.
