FULLY BOUND [10 records]

Record 1 2014-04-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
DEF

A complex, fully active enzyme, containing an apoenzyme and a coenzyme. Coenzymes can be metal ions(e. g. Na+, K+, Mg2+) or organic molecules such as coenzyme A, NAD, and pyridoxal phosphate. Some coenzymes are tightly bound to the enzymes as prosthetic groups(e. g. NAD and NADP) ;other groups can be removed easily, e. g. by dialysis.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génétique
DEF

Enzyme actif, constitué par un apoenzyme, qui est une protéine à poids moléculaire élevé, impliqué dans la reconnaissance du substrat et sa liaison à celui-ci, et un coenzyme, ion métallique ou vitamine, d'origine exogène. Il est responsable de la transformation du substrat. Chaque type de coenzyme lié fonctionnellement à un autre enzyme possède des caractères d'association qui sont constants, soit faibles (covalence), une dialyse suffit à les séparer, soit forts et le coenzyme ne peut être isolé que par dénaturation du complexe.

Record 2 2011-02-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biological Sciences
  • Biotechnology
DEF

Ratio of the mass or volume of a solute to the mass or volume of the solution or solvent. It can be expressed in terms of molarity, molality, normality, or mol fraction.

CONT

The rate of an enzyme reaction(V) varies with the substrate concentration, increasing with an increased concentration until a maximum value(Vmax) is reached. At this point, all enzyme molecules are fully occupied and the rate of reaction is limited by the rate of the catalytic process on the enzyme surface. For most enzymes, the concentration of substrate at which the reaction rate is half maximal(Km) is a measure of how tightly the substrates are bound, with a large value of Km representing a weak binding, and vice versa.

OBS

See "concentration".

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sciences biologiques
  • Biotechnologie
DEF

Quantité d'une espèce chimique existant dans un mélange homogène. On l'exprime habituellement, -soit par la masse du constituant rapporté à l'unité de volume de la solution, -soit par le nombre de moles de molécules du constituant, rapporté à l'unité de volume de la solution (molarité).

CONT

Il existe des réactions d'ordre zéro, du premier ordre, du deuxième ordre et du troisième ordre, suivant la nature de la relation entre la vitesse de la réaction et la concentration d'un des réactifs dans des conditions données. La vitesse de certaines réactions chimiques est indépendante de la concentration des réactifs : on les appelle réactions d'ordre zéro. Beaucoup de réactions catalysées sont d'ordre zéro vis-à-vis des réactifs. Dans ces cas, la vitesse de réaction dépend de la concentration du catalyseur ou de divers facteurs autres que la concentration des composés chimiques qui entrent en réaction. Les réactions du premier ordre sont celles dont la vitesse est exactement proportionnelle à la concentration d'un réactif. Les réactions du deuxième ordre sont celles dont la vitesse est proportionnelle au produit des concentrations de deux réactifs différents, ou au carré de la concentration d'un seul réactif. Les réactions du troisième ordre, relativement rares, sont celles dont la vitesse est proportionnelle au produit de trois concentrations.

OBS

Subject field(s)
  • Tort Law (common law)
CONT

Generally, the law has considered itself fully extended by affording compensation only to persons immediately injured, such as the accident victim himself, without going to the length of compensating also third persons who, in consequence, incur expenses or lose their livelihood, support or expected benefits from their association with him. The reason for this is not so much that these claims are for pecuniary detriment as that the burden of compensating anyone besides the actual casualty is feared to be unduly oppressive because most accidents are bound to entail repercussions, great or small; upon all with whom he had family, business or other valuable relations.

Record 4 2001-12-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Drainage and Irrigation (Agric.)
CONT

There are bound to be rainstorms whose water the soil cannot fully absorb-a point of major importance in arid and semi-arid areas, for this water can be collected and used to improve productivity locally. The following four water management methods and erosion control structures apply :. runoff harvesting(catching runoff for supplementary irrigation) ;. total absorption or infiltration;. runoff diversion(redirecting excess water) ;. runoff spreading(distribution of runoff energy).... Structures to dissipate runoff energy. When rainfall exceeds the soil' s absorption capacity, the sheet runoff can be controlled by spreading it across the whole slope rather than concentrating it in channels and outlets, where it can cause problems. Its energy can be dispersed by keeping the speed below 25 cm... Such dispersion across the slope is achieved partly by cropping techniques that keep the soil surface rough(clods, many grass stalks, effect of weeds and mulching, etc.) and partly by structures such as permeable microdams, which temporarily slow the flow, allow some sedimentation, spread the flood, reduce peak flows and improve absorption.

Key term(s)
  • run-off spreading
  • run off spreading

French

Domaine(s)
  • Drainage et irrigation (Agriculture)
CONT

Irrigation de surface. [...] L'épandage des eaux de ruissellement ou de crue, qui du fait de la brutalité des précipitations, coulent de façon très temporaire dans les régions à faible pluviosité annuelle, est une forme fruste de submersion, utilisée par l'homme depuis longtemps, dans la vallée du Nil ou la Mésopotamie par exemple.

Record 5 1997-05-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
  • Molecular Biology
CONT

After hydrolysis of the template RNA, the cDNA is detected by a sandwich hybridization assay(Enzyme-Linked Oligonucleotide Sorbent Assay, or ELOSA). The sandwich consists of a biotinylated capture probe, the cDNA, and an HRP-conjugated detector probe. The sandwich is bound via the biotin to a streptavidin-coated microplate well, and is detected by adding a substrate for HRP. Although all steps may be performed manually, the ELOSA system is fully compatible with automated ELISA(Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay) plate washers and readers.

By using as many intermediate pillars as needed, this assembly offers MLC 100 over an "unlimited length", although a limit is bound to be reached in terms of gap depth, not so much with regard to the height and strength of the pillars but rather more to lateral stability and resonance factors when the bridge is crossed by vehicles such as a fully laden tank transporter.

En fait, la longueur maximale admissible aura tout de même une limite si la coupure est profonde, non pas tant à cause des piles (hauteur et résistance) mais à cause des problèmes de stabilité et de résonance des travées au passage de véhicules très lourds comme par exemple les plateaux-transporteurs de chars à pleine charge.

Subject field(s)
  • International Public Law
CONT

What is at issue in this section is(...), whether, or to what extent, a cessionary State is bound under international law to keep in force the legislation enacted, and the administrative machinery set up, by its predecessor.(...) The cessionary State is in principle fully competent immediately, at least after the actual transfer of government, to extend its own legislation and the functioning of its own administrative machinery to the territory acquired and to its population. It may, however, for example for political reasons, temporarily refrain from doing so, or on the other hand be limited in its freedom of action in this respect by a specific treaty stipulation.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Droit international public
CONT

Dans l'opération dite: cession de territoire (...) le rôle de l'État cessionnaire est d'établir sa souveraineté sur le territoire considéré, lequel est, dans l'usage courant, qualifié de territoire cédé. - "... la notion technique propre de cession de territoire (...) correspond exactement au sens qu'attribue à ces mots le droit international public. La doctrine moderne décompose, en effet, ordinairement l'opération de la cession en deux actes successifs: l'abandon par l'État cédant de sa compétence territoriale étant suivi de l'établissement de la sienne par l'État annexant ou cessionnaire."
