Context examples:
Neuron Conduction Induction involves initiation of activities that propagate the transfer of the electrochemical action potential process along nerve fibers away from the cell body.
(Neuron Conduction Induction, NCI Thesaurus)
Neuron Conduction Inhibition involves interference with, or restraint of, activities that propagate the transfer of the electrochemical action potential process along nerve fibers away from the cell body.
(Neuron Conduction Inhibition, NCI Thesaurus)
The activity of these enzymes creates an electrochemical gradient that is necessary for synthesis of adenosine triphosphate.
(Electron-Transport Chain of the Respiratory Enzymes, NCI Thesaurus)
An electrochemical process in which macromolecules or colloidal particles with a net electric charge migrate in a solution under the influence of an electric current.
(Electrophoresis, NLM, Medical Subject Headings)
Cobalt sulfate is used in the electrochemical industries, as a drier in paints and inks, as a coloring agent, in storage batteries and as a supplement for Vitamin B12 deficiency.
(Cobaltous Sulfate, NCI Thesaurus)
Odorant molecules bind to a receptor protein (R) coupled to an olfactory specific Gs-protein (G) and activate a type III adenylyl cyclase (AC), increasing intracellular cAMP levels. cAMP targets an olfactory-specific cyclic-nucleotide gated ion channel (CNG), allowing cations, particularly Na and Ca, to flow down their electrochemical gradients into the cell, depolarizing the ORN.
(Olfactory Transduction Pathway, NCI Thesaurus/KEGG)
The platform delivers results comparable to those of standard laboratories, and its applicability extends to any compounds that can be measured by means of classical electrochemical analytical techniques, which are very common in this area.
