labeling

noun labelings · labelling

  1. countable, uncountable A set of labels applied to the various objects in a system, to packaged goods, and so on; the act or process of applying them. Near-synonyms: (for packaged goods) branding, trade dress

    Similar: tagging, branding, trade dress

  2. countable, uncountable The introduction of a traceable chemical group (e.g., containing an isotope or a fluorescent dye) into a protein or other biomolecule of interest so it can be tracked or quantified during experimental analysis. There are two potential problems with this approach: first, the specificity of labeling depends on the purity of the LPS (if contaminants are present, they may be labeled also); second, removal of the label from the LPS in vivo might occur separately from processing of the LPS molecule itself.
