The complex of proteins and nucleic acids found in the cell nucleus.
A combination of proteins and nucleic acids.
Complexes made up of nucleic acid and protein. These two substances are apparently not linked by strong chemical bonds, but are held together by salt linkages and other weak bonds. Most viruses consist entirely of nucleoproteins, although some viruses also contain fatty substances. Nucleoproteins also occur in animal and plant cells and in bacteria.
A molecule that is formed from a structural protein that is combined with nucleic acid, and generally found in cell nuclei and other proliferative points in cells. Upon cell death, nucleoproteins, unlike others, cannot be cataoolized and recycled efficiently; instead, part of the protein is degraded to purines, and thence to uric acid. Uric acid, unlike urea, is an excretory dead end.
A complex of protein and nucleic acid making up the chromosomes.
A compound of protein and nucleic acid, e.g. a chromosome or ribosome.
The main constituent of hereditary material.
A compound that occurs in cells and consists of nucleic acid and protein tightly bound together. Ribosomes are nucleoproteins containing RNA; chromosomes are nucleoproteins containing DNA.
The combination of protein and nucleic acid (DNA or RNA).
