FRAGILITE MOYENNE [2 records]

Record 1 2010-09-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biological Sciences
DEF

Relating to or being a material that is in one or more ways sensitive to heat.

CONT

There is in nature a common and inverse relationship between lipid unsaturation and temperature: high temperature leads to low unsaturation; low temperature leads to high unsaturation.... This response may be mediated through temperature-sensitive desaturases.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sciences biologiques
DEF

Se dit d’une substance sensible à des variations de température.

CONT

Certaines mutations ne se manifestent qu'à une température relativement élevée et non à une température basse ou moyenne. On les qualifie de thermo sensibles. Elles correspondent souvent à une fragilité particulière de la protéine mutée vis-à-vis d’une élévation de température, fragilité qui ne se manifeste pas à une température plus basse, ce qui ne permet pas alors de déceler la mutation.
