COLLOCATIONS FROM THE CORPUSADJECTIVE► complex· Indeed, many of the complex molecules of which they are composed would be liable to fall apart.· One idea that has been suggested is that the precursors of life - complex organic molecules - arrived here from outer space.· We know, too, that meteorites often do contain complex organic molecules.· They contain complex organic molecules; but they are not just bundles of organic molecules.· All the different complex organic molecules work together to form the entire organism.· None the less, simple systems are widely used to do abinitio calculations accurate enough to answer important questions for reasonably complex molecules.· Once self-replication had got under way molecules could pile on other more complex molecules in a loose association.· For more complex molecules in whose spectra vibrational detail is not resolved, assignments are difficult to make. ► different· Since different molecules absorb different colours, this microscope can be used to make a microscopic chemical analysis of the surface.· Indeed, no relationship between the vibration frequencies of different molecules is logically necessary.· The new separator relies on electrophoresis: different molecules are pulled off in different directions toward positive or negative electrodes.· All the different complex organic molecules work together to form the entire organism.· Families of cell adhesion molecules Many different cell adhesion molecules have been described.· Sometimes, different protein molecules will fit together, like the pieces of a three-dimensional jigsaw, to form larger-scale structures. ► large· This is because of the large number of molecules involved.· More modern laser techniques allow much more subtle experiments to be applied to both small and large unstable molecules in flow systems.· This breaking down of the large molecules to smaller ones is the job of enzymes.· Proteins are strings of 20 kinds of amino acids, which usually fold up to form a large globular molecule.· It trapped inside the cell the building blocks of raw materials such as amino acids which were converted into larger molecules.· This early form of life was probably a large molecule.· More importantly the larger molecules manufactured inside the cell were later to be called the dna.· What were needed, and gradually emerged between 1900 and 1940, were technical methods for investigating large molecules. ► linear· This consists, basically, of, in other words it is a linear long-chain molecule much like Figure 7.· For all but linear molecules, external molecular motions - 3 translations and 3 rotations - account for 6 of these.· A linear molecule has only two rotations, and so it has 3N - 5 vibrational modes.· A simple case is that of the linear molecule.· Again linear symmetrical molecules are best. ► organic· Chemists now know how to make most organic molecules in the laboratory, but the name has stuck.· One idea that has been suggested is that the precursors of life - complex organic molecules - arrived here from outer space.· Tannins, another kind of organic molecule, are used in the oil industry to make muds easier to drill.· When this happened, say Hoyle and Wickramasinghe, the organic molecules within the comets were spewed out over the land.· We know, too, that meteorites often do contain complex organic molecules.· Geologists believe that oil and coal are composed of organic molecules because they themselves are derived from living things.· None of these organic molecules shows evidence of originating from living matter.· But although organic molecules are the essential components of modern living things, they can not in isolation be considered living. ► other· Normally the forces from one molecule are counterbalanced by equal attraction by other molecules but at an interface the forces become unbalanced.· The range of distances found for the other four molecules is given in parentheses.· Once self-replication had got under way molecules could pile on other more complex molecules in a loose association.· Ethylene is the feedstock from which other molecules are built by the chemical industry.· Each then acts as a template to which other simpler molecules become attached until each has once more become a double helix. ► simple· The root mean square speeds of some simple molecules are shown in table 3.2.· In fact, they are rather simple molecules, the structure of which has long been known.· All of them ultimately start out as two very simple molecules, carbon dioxide and water.· Each then acts as a template to which other simpler molecules become attached until each has once more become a double helix. ► single· At this scale, a single ethanol molecule is roughly the size of a corpulent Labrador retriever.· Chapter 2 presents a concise description of near-field imaging and spectroscopy of single molecules on solid surfaces.· A single enzyme molecule can make many millions of single isomer product molecules per minute in a chemical reactor. ► small· LabVision features interactive 3D building and editing of small molecules as well as proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids.· The smaller sized molecules can slip in between the larger ones.· These give only limited vibrational information, and then only for small molecules.· Amino-acid sequencing is limited to smaller molecules, for example the endogenous opioid met-enkephalin with a molecular weight of 573.· Both are chains of small molecules called nucleotides.· This process is particularly effective where small molecules are involved, for the band-shapes and vibrational structure are often characteristic.· The fluidity of liquids consisting of large molecules is lower than those consisting of small molecules.· The smaller molecule acids are soluble in water. ► solvent· Sometimes specific intermolecular complexes are formed, either between two sample molecules or between sample and solvent molecules. NOUN► adhesion· Flexibility and the location of ligand-binding sites close to the top of adhesion molecules may be a general feature of their organization.· Special molecules called adhesion molecules guide the migration of developing neurons and help them to make stable connections to other neurons.· This suggests a possible tumour suppressor function for this cell adhesion molecule.· However, the final, as yet small, family of cell adhesion molecules bind to carbohydrates.· An altered expression of such adhesion molecules may influence the aggressiveness of local infiltrative growth and metastasis in human cancers.· Families of cell adhesion molecules Many different cell adhesion molecules have been described.· Cell adhesion and disease adhesion molecule deficiency A number of rare diseases result from defects in adhesion molecules. ► dna· It replicates itself, making two DNA molecules where before there was one; and it makes protein.· After all, the DNA molecule is one continuous chain of bases, and without punctuation, the code would be nonsensical.· We have seen that DNA molecules are the centre of a spectacular information technology.· In fact, only about five per cent of each DNA molecule actually provides any meaningful code.· In cell division the spiral appears, as well as in the DNA molecule in the cell nucleus.· The messages that DNA molecules contain are all but eternal when seen against the time scale of individual lifetimes.· These four bases provide the only source of variation in the DNA molecule. ► protein· They are smaller molecules than proteins, so they have to become attached to a protein molecule before they are activated.· One experiment produced crystals of protein molecules that drug company researchers believe could advance the development of antiviral drugs.· These slightly altered protein molecules are mass-produced by the protein-making machines inside the developing brain cells.· The antibodies are protein molecules that can fit on to an allergen and inactivate it.· Some protein molecules are simply too large for microbes to handle.· Research has however shown that in terms of the arrangement of the protein molecules this model is no longer accurate.· Synthesizing any new protein molecule from scratch takes a matter of minutes.· Sometimes, different protein molecules will fit together, like the pieces of a three-dimensional jigsaw, to form larger-scale structures. ► receptor· The receptor molecules are conduits for information, with one end outside the cell and the other inside.· When the right neurotransmitter docks with the appropriate receptor, the physical structure of the receptor molecule changes.· More messages make them more active, and more likely to add phosphate to receptor molecules.· The neurotransmitter sticks to the receptor molecule, and together they are able to open a pore in the cell membrane.· The result is fewer receptor molecules.· There are at least two types of postsynaptic channels that open up when glutamate binds to their receptor molecules.· Before a virus can infect an animal cell it must first bind to specific receptor molecules embedded in the cell membrane. ► water· Tritium's radiation passes easily into the human body because it is carried by water molecules.· This charge meshes nicely with the slight positive charge on one side of water molecules.· The wax molecules carry no charge and repel water molecules, which are charged.· Hence when a current is applied, the positively charged ions move toward the cathode carrying water molecules with them.· Light energy from the sun is absorbed by the chlorophyll in the leaves and the water molecules are split.· That is because there are small empty pockets around the water molecules.· But not only water molecules will fit into these cavities.· The tiny molecules of the salt fit into the spaces between the water molecules and do not take up extra space. VERB► bind· Before a virus can infect an animal cell it must first bind to specific receptor molecules embedded in the cell membrane. ► contain· We know, too, that meteorites often do contain complex organic molecules.· They contain complex organic molecules; but they are not just bundles of organic molecules.· Many organic binders contain molecules which fluoresce when excited by ultra-violet radiation.· We will also see the development of health-promoting foods that contain specific fatty acid molecules. ► form· The sub-atomic particles are arranged to form the atoms, and different numbers, types and arrangements of atoms form the molecules.· A second laser forms new molecules.· Proteins are strings of 20 kinds of amino acids, which usually fold up to form a large globular molecule. ► move· A gas exerts pressure because its molecules are moving about rapidly and in random directions.· As the molecules move and bump into adjacent molecules, they also move.· It depends upon mobility; molecules moving from one part of the structure to another.· As the molecules move and bump into adjacent molecules, they also move.· Equally, the skin is pushed out in the direction that the molecule was first moving.· The products of the reaction have a great deal of energy-their molecules are moving at very high speeds.· The effect of raising the temperature is to make the individual molecules move faster, so that collisions can overcome the activation energy. ► produce· The developing round peas produce a vital molecule, called starch-branching enzyme, which builds up complex starch molecules from sugar.· One experiment produced crystals of protein molecules that drug company researchers believe could advance the development of antiviral drugs. |
