trehalose- also known as mycose or tremalose, is a natural alpha-linked disaccharide formed by an α,α-1,1-glucoside bond between two α-glucose units.
mannoprotein- component of yeast cell walls; protein covalently linked to polymers of mannose.
chromatography- the separation of mixtures into their constituents by preferential adsorption by a solid, as a column of silica (column chromatography) or a strip of filter paper (paper chromatography) or by a gel.
immunoprecipitation- the separation of an antigen from a solution by the formation of a large complex with its specific antibody.
catabolite- a product of catabolic action.
kinetics- the branch of mechanics that deals with the actions of forces in producing or changing the motion of masses.
ceramides- ceramides are a family of lipid molecules. A ceramide is composed of sphingosine and a fatty acid.
orthologue- one of two or more homologous gene sequences found in different species.
ergosterol- a compound present in ergot and many other fungi. A steroid alcohol, it is converted to vitamin D2 when irradiated with ultraviolet light.
transcriptome- the transcriptome is the set of all RNA molecules, including mRNA, rRNA, tRNA, and non-coding RNA produced in one or a population of cells.
