DNA denaturation — DNA denaturation, also called DNA melting, is the process by which double stranded deoxyribonucleic acid unwinds and separates into single stranded strands through the breaking of hydrogen bonding between the bases. Both terms are used to refer… … Wikipedia
Denaturation (biochemistry) — This egg s protein has undergone denaturation and loss of solubility, caused by the high rise of the temperature of the egg during the cooking process. Denaturation is a process in which proteins or nucleic acids lose their tertiary structure and … Wikipedia

denaturation — Describes the conversion of DNA from the double stranded to the single stranded state; separation of the strands is most often accomplished by heating. A change in the molecular structure of globular proteins that may be induced by bringing a… … Forensic science glossary
Methylated DNA immunoprecipitation — (MeDIP or mDIP) is a large scale (chromosome or genome wide) technique that is used to enrich for methylated DNA sequences. It consists of isolating methylated DNA fragments via an antibody raised against 5 methylcytosine (5mC). This technique… … Wikipedia
covalently-closed circular DNA — Abbreviation: ccc DNA A DNA molecule in which the free ends have ligated to form a circle. The strands remain linked together even after denaturation. Plasmids exist in this form in their in vivo state. In its native form, ccc DNA will adopt a… … Glossary of Biotechnology
single-stranded DNA — Abbreviation: ssDNA DNA molecules separated from their complementary strand, either by its absence or following denaturation … Glossary of Biotechnology
Nucleic acid thermodynamics — is the study of the thermodynamics of nucleic acid molecules, or how temperature affects nucleic acid structure. For multiple copies of DNA molecules, the melting temperature (Tm) is defined as the temperature at which half of the DNA strands are … Wikipedia
