Cell-Free System MeSH Descriptor Data 2025


MeSH Heading
Cell-Free System
Tree Number(s)
A11.284.835.168
Unique ID
D002474
RDF Unique Identifier
http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D002474
Annotation
for study of subcellular fractions; not for micro-organisms; NIM; use A 11 qualif discreetly
Scope Note
A fractionated cell extract that maintains a biological function. A subcellular fraction isolated by ultracentrifugation or other separation techniques must first be isolated so that a process can be studied free from all of the complex side reactions that occur in a cell. The cell-free system is therefore widely used in cell biology. (From Alberts et al., Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2d ed, p166)
