complement

Definition and meaning of complement:

complement - the complement of a nucleic acid sequence replaces each base by its complementary base: adenine (A) by thymine (T), cytosine (C) by guanine (G), and vice versa. In RNA, adenine is paired not with thymine but with uracil (U)

The word complement (with an e in the second syllable, not to be confused with a different word, compliment with an i) has a number of uses. Generally a complement of X is something that together with X makes a complete whole; that supplies what X lacks. The first e in complete and the first e in complement are etymological cognates of each other in a way that is a useful mnemonic for r

Adding two's complement numbers does not require special processing if the operands have opposite signs, and the sign of the result is determined automatically. For example, adding 15 and -5: 11111 111 (carry) 0000 1111 (15) + 1111 1011 (-5) =========== 0000 1010 (10) This process is dependent upon the restriction to 8 bits of precision; a value of 1 is actually carried to the left, but this bit is ignored, resultin ...

In traditional music theory a complement is the interval added to another, that is placed on top of another, so that their complete span is an octave. The complement of any interval is its inverse, except for the octave and the unison which are each other's complements. In musical set theory or atonal theory, complement is used in both the naive set theory sense above, and in the additive inverse sense directly above as well. Using integer notation and modulo 12, any two intervals which add up to 0 (mod 12) are complements

The complement system is derived from many small plasma proteins that form the complex biochemical cascade of the immune system, leading to cytolysis, chemotaxis, opsonization and inflammation, it can mark pathogens for phagocytosis. It consists of more than 35 proteins. 12 which are directly involved in the complement pathways, while the rest have regulatory functions. There are three biochemical pathways which activates the complement system: the classical complement pathway, the alternate complement pathway and the mannan-binding l ...

The three pathways all generate homologous variants of the protease, C3-convertase. C3-convertase cleaves and activates C3, creating C3a and C3b and causing a cascade of further cleavage and activation events. C3b binds to the surface of pathogens leading to greater internalization by phagocytic cells. C5a is an important chemokine, which leads to the recruitment of inflammatory cells. C5b is initiates the membrane attack pathway which results in the membrane attack complex (MAC), consisting of C5b, C6, C7, C8, and polymeric C9. MAC is the cytolytic endproduct of the complement cascade, it forms a transmembrane channel w ...

Serial verb construction is a basic feature of Chinese grammar, in which two or more verbs are concatenated together. Also known as verb stacking, serial verb construction typically manifests itself in two ways: verbal complements, which appear after the main verb, and coverbs, which appear before the main verb. Such stacking is also present in the two other major languages of the Northeast Asia region, Korean and Japanese (Japanese grammar; Korean does not yet have an article on its Korean grammar). < ...

The liver plays a vital role in synthesis of proteins (e.g. albumin, clotting factors and complement), detoxification and storage (e.g. vitamin A). In addition, it participates in the metabolism of lipids and carbohydrates. Cirrhosis is often preceded by hepatitis and fatty liver (steatosis), independent of the cause. If the cause is removed at this stage, the changes are still fully reversible. The pathological hallmark of cirrhosis is the development of scar tissue that replaces normal parenchyma, blocking the portal flow of ...

Many sources of psychic information and other metaphysical teachings have proposed concepts such as "soul mate" and "twin soul." The Cayce readings, although simultaneously raising some provocative questions, do shed some light on this topic.

Love is the primary, fundamental building block that everything is made of, and love is self-aware; it recognizes itself in everything, and loves itself in everything. In its primal, unified, unlimited, infinite state, it knows nothing other than unity, perfection, completion, wholeness.

Papad (also papadum, papadam, and appalam) is an Indian and Sri Lankan flatbread. Typically, it is prepared using black gram bean flour, rice flour, or lentil flour with salt and peanut oil added. The ingredients are made into a dough and formed into a thin, round shape similar to a tortilla. As the dough is prepared, the papadum can be seasoned with a variety of different ingredients such as chilies, ...

She was the virgin moon goddess of the hunt, wild animals, healing, wilderness, chastity, and childbirth. She was worshipped as a fertility/childbirth goddess in many places since, according to some myths, she assisted her mother in the delivery of her twin. At some point in the Classical period, she was identified by some with Hecate, the primal, pre-Olympian feral goddess. She much later became more identified with and eventually supplanted Selene as the moon goddess to complement her twin's identification with and supplantation of Helios as the sun god. Artemis also assimilated Caryatis (Carya). Her priestesses were addressed with th ...

Proofs at a more advanced level draw on the axiomatic foundations of mathematics. They use careful and sound definitions of integers, fractions, real numbers, infinity, limits, and equality. The validity of manipulations at the elementary level is a logical consequence of these foundations. One requirement is to characterize numbers that can be written in decimal notation, consisting of an optional sign, a finite sequence of any number of digits forming an integer part, a decimal separator, and a sequence of digits forming a fractiona ...

Almost all computer users understand the concept of a bit (that is, a 1 or 0 value encoded by the setting of a switch of some kind). A single bit can represent two states: 0 1 Therefore, if you take two bits, you can use them to represent four unique states: 00 01 10 11 And, if you have three bits, then you can use them to represent eight unique states: 000 001 010 011 100 101 110 111 With every bit you add, you double the number of states you can represent. ...

It can be upgraded for better shields at the Forge, better armor at the Cybernetics Core and better Interceptor capacity at the Fleet Beacon. Protoss Carrier - Interceptors.

A gyroscope exhibits a number of behaviours including precession and nutation. Gyroscopes can be used to construct gyrocompasses which complement or replace magnetic compasses (in ships, aircraft and spacecraft, vehicles in general), to assist in stability (bicycle, Hubble Space Telescope, ships, vehicles in general) or be used as part of an Inertial guidance system. Gyroscopic effects are used in toys like yo-yos and dynabees. Many other rotating devices, such as flywheels, behave gyroscopically although the gyroscopic effect is not used. The fundamental equation describing the behaviour o ...

Post Cereals first created the confection that would become Pop-Tarts in the early 1960s. The company had developed a process of enclosing dog food in foil to keep it fresh without refrigeration. They adapted the process to create a new breakfast food for the toaster to complement their popular cold cereals. Post announced their new product in 1963 to the press, giving them the name "Country Squares." Because Post had revealed Country Squares before it was ready, Post's biggest competitor Kellogg was able to develop their own version ...
