biological molecule
Some of these are small molecules which are intrinsically fluorescent and bind a biological molecule of interest.
From
Wikipedia
chiral molecule
Two mirror images of a chiral molecule are called enantiomers or optical isomers.
From
Wikipedia
chlorophyll molecule
Different side chains characterize each type of chlorophyll molecule, and alters the absorption spectrum of light.
From
Wikipedia
complex molecule
It is a complex molecule that is too difficult to synthesise.

dye molecule
Fluorescently tagged antibodies or streptavidin are bound to the dye molecule.
From
Wikipedia
effector molecule
The final effector molecule of the fibrinolytic system is plasmin, which cleaves fibrin into soluble degradation products.
From theCambridge English Corpus
fluorescent molecule
The detection limit is determined by the ability to distinguish each fluorescent molecule from the background.
From theCambridge English Corpus
hydrocarbon molecule
As a result, its surface spontaneously attaches water and hydrocarbon molecules from the ambient atmosphere.
From
Wikipedia
individual molecule
The air is so rarefied that an individual molecule (of oxygen, for example) travels an average of 1 kilometer between collisions with other molecules.
From
Wikipedia
large molecule
This strategy can dramatically reduce spectral complexity and allows one to focus on one region of interest within a large molecule or complex.
From theCambridge English Corpus
linear molecule
A linear molecule lies on a single axis and each atom moves on the surface of a sphere around the centre of mass.
From
Wikipedia
neutral molecule
Alternatively, it may be that the neutral molecule can align before ionization, hence giving similar distributions for all fragment ions.
From theCambridge English Corpus
organic molecule
The persistence times of living cells, metabolically dormant spores and organic molecule biomarkers at different depths can then be calculated.
From theCambridge English Corpus
signaling molecule
Nitric oxide as a signaling molecule in visual system development.
From theCambridge English Corpus
simple molecules
As the complexity of the ensemble of primitive biomolecules was very low, primitive catalysts had necessarily to be very simple molecules or ions.
From theCambridge English Corpus
small molecule
In addition, there were no known ways to calculate the excluded volume of a small molecule relative to a complicated protein structure or random chain.
From theCambridge English Corpus
sugar molecule
The second criterion points towards a sugar molecule, rather than an amino acid, because the keto-enol kinetics is much faster than the substitution isomerization kinetics for amino acids.
From theCambridge English Corpus
target molecule
As aqueous levels are reduced by microbial action, the cells 'squeeze' additional substrate from the organic sponge, until the target molecule has been completely degraded.
From theCambridge English Corpus
water molecule
The binding of the substrate and molecular oxygen into the enzyme leads to loss of one water molecule.
