Interfacial catalysis: Enyzmatic catalysis at an interface, such as the surface of a biological membrane.
Lipidomics: System-level analysis and characterization of lipids and their interacting moieties.
Liposomes: small spherical particles that are composed of lipid bilayers. Liposomes are used in biophysical and biochemical binding studies, as carriers in drug delivery and cosmetic fromulations.
Metabolomics/Metabonomics: A discipline that aims at the quantitiative and comprehensive analysis of all metabolites.
PH domain: Pleckstrin homology domain. A widespread and functionally diverse protein fold that mediates intermolecular interaactions, most notbaly with phosphoinositides.
Systems Biology: A discipline that aims at deciphering relationships between different parts of a biological system with the goal of understanding and predicting the behaviour of the system as a whole.
Thin-layer chromatography: Commonly used chromatographic method. Analyte is separated by chromatographic material, which is immobilized as a thin layer on a solid support such as a glass plate.
Tandem mass spectrometry: Methods that include at least two stqages of maass analysis, in conjunction with a dissociation process.
