N
Narrow range
IPG strips
Immobilized pH gradient strips with a pH gradient range of 1, 2 or
3 units
Native gel
electrophoresis
Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under non-denaturing conditions
NCBI
The National Center for Biotechnology Information, a division of
the NIH, is the home of the BLAST and Entrez servers.
NEPHGE
Non-equilibrium pH gradient electrophoresis for basic proteins
TOP
NES
Nano-electrospray; a miniaturized version of ESI that allows for
greater sensitivity
Neural network
An interconnected assembly of simple processing elements, units
or nodes, whose functionality is loosely based on the animal brain.
The processing ability of the network is stored in the inter-unit
connection strengths, or weights, obtained by a process of adaptation
to, or learning from, a set of training patterns.
Neural nets are used in bioinformatics to map data and make predictions.
Nitrocellulose
Membrane for Western blotting
Nnpredict
A software tool / algorithm at UCSF that predicts secondary structure
types for the residues in a given query sequence.
Nucleotide
A single letter of the genetic code; three nucleotides form a codon
that encodes a single amino acid in a protein sequence
TOP
O
Object-relational
database
Database combining the elements of object orientation and object-oriented
programming languages with relational database capabilities.
Orthologous
Groups of genes or proteins from different organisms that have the
same function are said to be orthologous. Homologous
sequences are said to be orthologous when they are direct descendants
of a sequence in the common ancestor (i.e., without having undergone
a gene duplication event).
