μ: Greek alphabet for m See at beginning of in section.
Us: See surface component of the interaction energy.
Uvp: the exclusion intensity incorporating the volume
contribution and the entropy contribution to solute exclusion.
ultracentrifuge: a high-speed centrifuge which can sediment and
thus separate particles and large molecules that conventional centrifuge
cannot. Ultracentrifuge is used to separate different fractions of
cellular components from cell homogenate and in determining molecular
weights of proteins.
ultramicroscope: a microscope designed for the visualization of
colloidal materials based on the Tyndall phenomenon.
unifacial cells: cells like muscle, nerve, red blood cells each
possessing a single type of cell membrane throughout its entire cell
surface.
unifying theory: a theory that makes into a unit or coherent
whole.
UO2Cl2: uranyl chloride, bright yellow
crystals.
uranium and lead stained EM sections: conventional EM sections
stained with electron-dense uranium and lead.
urea: (NH2)2CO, a product of protein
metabolism. At high concentration, it acts as a protein denaturant.
utricle: any of the small pouches of animal or plant body.
