It is the ribonucleoside triphosphate of thymidine, but the nomenclature with "5-methyluridine" is used because the term thymidine triphosphate is used for the deoxyribonucleoside by convention. |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projection%20%28mathematics%29 | In mathematics, a projection is an idempotent mapping of a set (or other mathematical structure) into a subset (or sub-structure). In this case, idempotent means that projecting twice is the same as projecting once. The restriction to a subspace of a projection is also called a projection, even if the idempotence pro... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified%20internal%20rate%20of%20return | The modified internal rate of return (MIRR) is a financial measure of an investment's attractiveness. It is used in capital budgeting to rank alternative investments of equal size. As the name implies, MIRR is a modification of the internal rate of return (IRR) and as such aims to resolve some problems with the IRR.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoroacetic%20acid | Fluoroacetic acid is a organofluorine compound with formula CH2FCO2H. It is a colorless solid that is noted for its relatively high toxicity. The conjugate base, fluoroacetate occurs naturally in at least 40 plants in Australia, Brazil, and Africa. It is one of only five known organic fluorine-containing natural produ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple%20%28mathematics%29 | In mathematics, a multiple is the product of any quantity and an integer. In other words, for the quantities a and b, it can be said that b is a multiple of a if b = na for some integer n, which is called the multiplier. If a is not zero, this is equivalent to saying that is an integer.
When a and b are both integers... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projection%20%28set%20theory%29 | In set theory, a projection is one of two closely related types of functions or operations, namely:
A set-theoretic operation typified by the th projection map, written that takes an element of the Cartesian product to the value
A function that sends an element to its equivalence class under a specified equival... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holoprotein | A holoprotein or conjugated protein is an apoprotein combined with its prosthetic group.
Some enzymes do not need additional components to show full activity. Others require non-protein molecules called cofactors to be bound for activity. Cofactors can be either inorganic (e.g., metal ions and iron-sulfur clusters) or... |

Pervasive Data Integrator and Pervasive Data Profiler are integration products, and the Pervasive PSQL relational database management system is its primary data storage product. These e... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimal%20virulence | Optimal virulence is a concept relating to the ecology of hosts and parasites. One definition of virulence is the host's parasite-induced loss of fitness. The parasite's fitness is determined by its success in transmitting offspring to other hosts. For about 100 years, the consensus was that virulence decreased and par... |
