avidity
Biology
(noun)
the measure of the synergism of the strength individual interactions between proteins
Microbiology
(noun)
The measure of the synergism of the strength of individual interactions between proteins.
Examples of avidity in the following topics:
-
Antibody Functions
- The term avidity describes binding by antibody classes that are secreted as joined, multivalent structures (such as IgM and IgA).
- Although avidity measures the strength of binding, just as affinity does, the avidity is not simply the sum of the affinities of the antibodies in a multimeric structure.
- The avidity depends on the number of identical binding sites on the antigen being detected, as well as other physical and chemical factors.
- Typically, multimeric antibodies, such as pentameric IgM, are classified as having lower affinity than monomeric antibodies, but high avidity.
- (a) Affinity refers to the strength of single interactions between antigen and antibody, while avidity refers to the strength of all interactions combined.

Bloom - Biography
- As a young man, he was already an avid reader and curious researcher.
-
Agglutination Reactions
- The quality of the result is determined by the time of incubation with the antibody source, amount and avidity of the antigen conjugated to the carrier, and conditions of the test environment (e.g., pH and protein concentration).
-
Working from Home or Online
- For example, if you have been an avid angler all your life, you should consider home based fishing franchise prospects.
-
Types of Microorganisms
- They are prokaryotic cells with avidity to extreme environmental conditions.
-
Value Contradictions
- For example, Donald Trump claims to be pro-life and also an avid supporter of the death penalty.
-
Structure and Function of Antibodies
- IgM: Expressed on the surface of B cells (monomer) and in a secreted pentamer with very high avidity.
-
Nigerian Art Post-Independence
- Peter Claver’s (Primary) School, Kafanchan, Metropolitan College, Onitsha, and Bishop Shanahan College, Orlu, during which time he had already begun to demonstrate an avid interest in drawing and painting.
-
Painting under the Song Dynasty
- During the Song Dynasty, there were avid art collectors that would often meet in groups to discuss their own paintings, as well as rate those of their colleagues and friends.
-
Sampling ties
- Business contact networks, community elites, deviant sub-cultures, avid stamp collectors, kinship networks, and many other structures can be pretty effectively located and described by snowball methods.
