Science - Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng / chemistry | | English term or phrase: minus | A fragment may comprise up to the entire length of the defined sequence, minus one nucleotide/amino acid residue.
I understand the meaning of each and every word, but not the function of "minus one nucleotide/amino acid residue". What is this guy modifying? Thanks in advance! |
| | | (全体の長さから1つ分を)引いた | Explanation:
fragment (断片、つまり全体の中の一部分)はあくまで「部分」であって、配列全体と同じ長さならば「部分」ではなくなると考えれば、minus one ...はthe entire lengthにかかると思われます。
「1つの断片の最大の長さは、定義済み配列全体の長さからヌクレオチドまたはアミノ酸残基1つ分を引いた長さである。」 |

| Grading comment Kazuya-san, thank you so much. I have had a closer idea to yours, and your explanation is convincing. The TM that I got is a pack of horrible translations, and I've been in trouble in translating this sentence. Thanks again.
