  2. Oligoclonal band - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligoclonal_band

    Oligoclonal bands (OCBs) are bands of immunoglobulins that are seen when a patient's blood serum, or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is analyzed. They are used in the diagnosis of various neurological and blood diseases. Oligoclonal bands are present in the CSF of more than 95% of patients with clinically definite multiple sclerosis. [1]

  3. Sideband - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sideband

    In radio communications, a sideband is a band of frequencies higher than or lower than the carrier frequency, that are the result of the modulation process. The sidebands carry the information transmitted by the radio signal. The sidebands comprise all the spectral components of the modulated signal except the carrier.

  4. Side chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Side_chain

    The side chain is a hydrocarbon branching element of a molecule that is attached to a larger hydrocarbon backbone. It is one factor in determining a molecule's properties and reactivity. [ 2 ] A side chain is also known as a pendant chain , but a pendant group (side group) has a different definition.

  5. Methyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_group

    In organic chemistry, a methyl group is an alkyl derived from methane, containing one carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms, having chemical formula CH 3 (whereas normal methane has the formula CH 4). In formulas, the group is often abbreviated as Me. This hydrocarbon group occurs in many organic compounds. It is a very stable group in ...

  6. Side-chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Side-chain

    Side-chain, side chain, or sidechain may refer to: Side chain, a chemical group attached to the main chain or backbone of a molecule, such as a protein; Substituent, an atom or group of atoms substituted in place of a hydrogen atom on the parent chain of a hydrocarbon; Side-chaining, an effect in digital audio processing

  7. Valence and conduction bands - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valence_and_conduction_bands

    In solid-state physics, the valence band and conduction band are the bands closest to the Fermi level, and thus determine the electrical conductivity of the solid. In nonmetals, the valence band is the highest range of electron energies in which electrons are normally present at absolute zero temperature, while the conduction band is the lowest range of vacant electronic states.

  8. Band gap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Band_gap

    The term "band gap" refers to the energy difference between the top of the valence band and the bottom of the conduction band. Electrons are able to jump from one band to another. However, in order for a valence band electron to be promoted to the conduction band, it requires a specific minimum amount of energy for the transition.

  9. Side band - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Side_band

    A side band or sideband can refer to: Side project , in music Sideband , in communications, either of the two bands of frequencies, one just above and one just below a carrier frequency, that result from modulation of a carrier wave
