Preferred Label : entrainment;
Detailed label : entrainment in photochemistry;
IUPAC definition : Term used in photostimulated radical nucleophilic substitution to designate the induction
of the reaction of a less reactive (or non-reactive) nucleophile with a substrate
by the addition of catalytic amounts of another nucleophile, more reactive at initiation.
Often, the non-reactive nucleophile at initiation is, however, quite reactive at propagation.;
Scope note : term also used in photobiology in connection with the setting of the circadian clock
by biological photosensors such as phytochromes and cryptochromes in plants and cryptochromes
in mammals and insects.;
Origin ID : ET07371;
