  2. Ribbon diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribbon_diagram

    Ribbon diagrams are simple yet powerful, expressing the visual basics of a molecular structure (twist, fold and unfold). This method has successfully portrayed the overall organization of protein structures, reflecting their three-dimensional nature and allowing better understanding of these complex objects both by expert structural biologists ...

  3. Chromosome regions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosome_regions

    If the chromosome is a submetacentric chromosome (One arm big and the other arm small) then the centromere divides each chromosome into two regions: the smaller one, which is the p region, and the bigger one, the q region. The sister chromatids will be distributed to each daughter cell at the end of the cell division.

  4. Biogeographic realm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biogeographic_realm

    A biogeographic realm is the broadest biogeographic division of Earth's land surface, based on distributional patterns of terrestrial organisms. They are subdivided into bioregions, which are further subdivided into ecoregions.

  5. Coding region - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coding_region

    The coding region of a gene, also known as the coding DNA sequence (CDS), is the portion of a gene's DNA or RNA that codes for a protein. [1] Studying the length, composition, regulation, splicing, structures, and functions of coding regions compared to non-coding regions over different species and time periods can provide a significant amount of important information regarding gene ...

  6. Gene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene

    To initiate transcription, the polymerase first recognizes and binds a promoter region of the gene. Thus, a major mechanism of gene regulation is the blocking or sequestering the promoter region, either by tight binding by repressor molecules that physically block the polymerase or by organizing the DNA so that the promoter region is not ...

  7. Striatum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Striatum

    The striatum (pl.: striata) or corpus striatum [5] is a cluster of interconnected nuclei that make up the largest structure of the subcortical basal ganglia. [6] The striatum is a critical component of the motor and reward systems; receives glutamatergic and dopaminergic inputs from different sources; and serves as the primary input to the rest of the basal ganglia.

  8. Human brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_brain

    Resting state fMRI looks at the interaction of brain regions whilst the brain is not performing a specific task. [158] This is also used to show the default mode network . Any electrical current generates a magnetic field; neural oscillations induce weak magnetic fields, and in functional magnetoencephalography the current produced can show ...

  9. Centrosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrosome

    In cell biology, the centrosome (Latin centrum 'center' + Greek sōma 'body') (archaically cytocentre [1]) is an organelle that serves as the main microtubule organizing center (MTOC) of the animal cell, as well as a regulator of cell-cycle progression. The centrosome provides structure for the cell.
