Definitions beginning with G

A process in which glucose (sugar) is partially broken down by cells in enzyme reactions that do not need oxygen. Glycolysis is one method that cells use to produce energy. When glycolysis is linked with other enzyme reactions that use oxygen, more complete breakdown of glucose is possible and more energy is produced.

A short chain of amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) that has sugar molecules attached to it. Some glycopeptides have been studied for their ability to stimulate the immune system.

The use of restriction endoglycosidases to enzymatically remove oligosaccharide branches from glycoprotein molecules. Removal of one or more oligosaccharide branches can lessen or abolish the antigenicity of the glycoprotein, so allowing its injection for pharmaceutical purposes without incurring an unwanted immune response. See: glycoform.

An enzyme which catalyses the break-down of glyphosate, discovered in a strain of Pseudomonas bacteria which were found to produce unusually large amounts of the enzyme. The gene responsible has been incorporated into a variety of crop plants to enable them to tolerate applications of glyphosate-containing herbicides. It has also been used in conjunction with the CP4 EPSPS gene.

An enzyme from the micro-organism Ochrobactrum anthropi, which catalyses the break-down of glyphosate. If the encoding gene (called goxv247) is inserted and properly expressed in a plant, these plants become tolerant of the application of glyphosate- and/or sulfosate-containing herbicides. An alteRNA tive to CP4 EPSPS or glyphosate oxidase encoded glyphosate tolerance.
