Dictionary » A » Acceptor AcceptorAcceptor a compound that will take up a chemical group (e.g., an amine group, a methyl group, a carbamoyl group) from another compound (the donor); under the action of alanine transaminase, l-glutamic acid is an amine donor while pyruvic acid is an amine acceptor. Origin: L. Ac-cipio, pp. -ceptus, to accept ![]()

Results from our forumculuring soil microorganisms... I'm planning on growing soil microorganisms in different liquid culture medias. I'll be doing this anaerobically and with nitrate as an electron acceptor. Should I be worried about the gases that might be created from using nitrate? Any info would be appreciated! Thanks

Intron: Unusual donor-acceptor splice site (GT-AG)As we know all introns obey the GT-AG rule (donor and acceptor splice site). I would like to know what actually happen if the GT-AG sites were intervened with unusual junction sequences (before GT/after AG), for eg: 1. gcgcgggc T GT GCGTC...INTRON...C ...

aerobic and anaerobic glucose degeneration in a cell... to as glycolysis and is a method of energy production for nearly all organisms. Aerobic refers to glycolysis in the presence of an electron acceptor and anaerobic refers to glycolysis without an electron acceptor. Electron acceptors are referring to a molecule which the Electron Transport ...
