[/ˈsiːkwəns dɪˈpɛndənt ˈfʌŋkʃən/]
nounpl: sequence-dependent functions
função dependente de sequência
1. A function or property whose behavior, output, or characteristics depend directly on the order or sequence of elements, components, or operations rather than just their presence or quantity alone
The protein folding process is a sequence-dependent function where the order of amino acids determines the final three-dimensional structure.
O processo de dobramento de proteínas é uma função dependente de sequência onde a ordem dos aminoácidos determina a estrutura tridimensional final.
2. In molecular biology and genetics, a function whose activity or expression is contingent upon a specific DNA or RNA sequence arrangement
Gene expression can be a sequence-dependent function, as the promoter sequence directly influences transcription rates.
A expressão gênica pode ser uma função dependente de sequência, pois a sequência promotora influencia diretamente as taxas de transcrição.
3. In computer science and algorithms, a function whose output varies based on the specific order of input elements or operations
String processing operations often involve sequence-dependent functions that produce different results based on character order.
As operações de processamento de strings frequentemente envolvem funções dependentes de sequência que produzem resultados diferentes com base na ordem dos caracteres.
This is a specialized technical term primarily used in scientific and academic contexts in both Brazil and the USA. It is most commonly found in molecular biology, genetics, computer science, and biochemistry literature.
