external membrane

After that, the external membrane is scraped off with a blunt knife.

However, many species of cyanobacteria have folds on their external membranes which function in photosynthesis.

In a few species, the skin is a syncitium, a collection of cells with multiple nuclei and a single, shared, external membrane.

The skin of all species is a syncitium, a layer of cells that shares a single external membrane.

Some bacteria, which have pili on their external membrane, are able to transfer their electron production via these pili.

Chemical analysis of the external membrane of B. burgdorferi revealed the presence of 46% proteins, 51% lipids and 3% carbohydrates.

Once an autophagosome has matured, it fuses its external membrane with lysosomes to degrade its cargo.

It has been suggested that double-walled "bubbles" of lipids like those that form the external membranes of cells may have been an essential first step.

Alcohols are most effective when combined with purified water to facilitate diffusion through the cell membrane; 100% alcohol typically denatures only external membrane proteins.

More specific rules are given by pinocytosis (engulfing zero external membranes) and phagocytosis (engulfing just one external elementary membrane).

"Insecticidal soaps work by disrupting the external membranes of soft-bodied insects such as aphids, white flies, certain scale insects and mealybugs.

Genes encoding for putative or demonstrated glycosyltransferases, that in turn affect the glycosylation of dystroglycan, an external membrane protein of the basal membrane.

This tissue is a syncytium that in some ways behaves like many cells that share a single external membrane, and in others like a single cell with multiple nuclei.

Changes can often involve the external membrane of the cell by making it impervious to other phages or even by increasing the pathogenic capability of the bacteria for a host.

Hexokinases I and II can associate physically to the outer surface of the external membrane of mitochondria through specific binding to a porin, or voltage dependent anion channel.

Suddenly, D'Agosta realized that the frenzied maneuvering was not random at all: The creatures were attacking each other, ripping at each other's external membranes and thrusting themselves into the breaches they created.

Other names for P-selectin include CD62P, Granule Membrane Protein 140 (GMP-140), and Platelet Activation-Dependent Granule to External Membrane Protein (PADGEM).
