- An activator is a DNA-binding protein that regulates one or more genes by increasing the rate of transcription. The activator may increase transcription by virtue of a connected domain which assists in the formation of the RNA polymerase holoenzyme, or may operate through a coactivator. ...
- In phosphors and scintillators, the activator is the element added as dopant to the crystal of the material to create desired type of nonhomogeneities.
- Enzyme activators are molecules that bind to enzymes and increase their activity. These molecules are often involved in the allosteric regulation of enzymes in the control of metabolism. ...
- (The Activators) The Activators are a children's entertainment group whose mission is to combat childhood obesity by engaging young children ages two to six in physical activity.
- (Activators) Chemicals which can be applied directly to a surface, substrate or mixed with an adhesive to speed up the solidification of an adhesive.
- (Activators) 1 Added active items which enable an otherwise inert material to demonstrate improved properties, eg cement with ground granulated blast-furnace slag. 2 see 'regulators'.
- (Activators) are toy vehicles with instant transformation at the push of a button.
- One or more ingredients in a flux that create a wettable surface for solder, by removing oxides and possibly other contaminants when coming into contact with the metal on the parts to be soldered. ...
