https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-terminus | The C-terminus (also known as the carboxyl-terminus, carboxy-terminus, C-terminal tail, C-terminal end, or COOH-terminus) is the end of an amino acid chain (protein or polypeptide), terminated by a free carboxyl group (-COOH). When the protein is translated from messenger RNA, it is created from N-terminus to C-terminu... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-terminus | The N-terminus (also known as the amino-terminus, NH2-terminus, N-terminal end or amine-terminus) is the start of a protein or polypeptide, referring to the free amine group (-NH2) located at the end of a polypeptide. Within a peptide, the amine group is bonded to the carboxylic group of another amino acid, making it a... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congruence%20of%20squares | In number theory, a congruence of squares is a congruence commonly used in integer factorization algorithms.
Derivation
Given a positive integer n, Fermat's factorization method relies on finding numbers x and y satisfying the equality
We can then factor n = x2 − y2 = (x + y)(x − y). This algorithm is slow in practic... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decision%20tree%20learning | Decision tree learning is a supervised learning approach used in statistics, data mining and machine learning. In this formalism, a classification or regression decision tree is used as a predictive model to draw conclusions about a set of observations.
Tree models where the target variable can take a discrete set of ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic%20wave%20equations | In physics, specifically relativistic quantum mechanics (RQM) and its applications to particle physics, relativistic wave equations predict the behavior of particles at high energies and velocities comparable to the speed of light. In the context of quantum field theory (QFT), the equations determine the dynamics of qu... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banach%E2%80%93Alaoglu%20theorem | In functional analysis and related branches of mathematics, the Banach–Alaoglu theorem (also known as Alaoglu's theorem) states that the closed unit ball of the dual space of a normed vector space is compact in the weak* topology.
A common proof identifies the unit ball with the weak-* topology as a closed subset of a... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minisatellite | A minisatellite is a tract of repetitive DNA in which certain DNA motifs (ranging in length from 10–60 base pairs) are typically repeated two to several hundred times. Minisatellites occur at more than 1,000 locations in the human genome and they are notable for their high mutation rate and high diversity in the popula... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite%20DNA | Satellite DNA consists of very large arrays of tandemly repeating, non-coding DNA. Satellite DNA is the main component of functional centromeres, and form the main structural constituent of heterochromatin.
The name "satellite DNA" refers to the phenomenon that repetitions of a short DNA sequence tend to produce a dif... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center%20frequency | In electrical engineering and telecommunications, the center frequency of a filter or channel is a measure of a central frequency between the upper and lower cutoff frequencies. It is usually defined as either the arithmetic mean or the geometric mean of the lower cutoff frequency and the upper cutoff frequency of a b... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeated%20sequence%20%28DNA%29 | Repeated sequences (also known as repetitive elements, repeating units or repeats) are short or long patterns of nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) that occur in multiple copies throughout the genome. In many organisms, a significant fraction of the genomic DNA is repetitive, with over two-thirds of the sequence consisting of ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-cell | In electrochemistry, a half-cell is a structure that contains a conductive electrode and a surrounding conductive electrolyte separated by a naturally occurring Helmholtz double layer. Chemical reactions within this layer momentarily pump electric charges between the electrode and the electrolyte, resulting in a potent... |
