than 72.9 atmospheres — carbon dioxide becomes a dense (sort of) liquid. Some coffee processors have used supercritical carbon dioxide as a solvent to remove caffeine from coffee.
In 1995, Keith Johnston added the surfactant ammonium carboxylate perfluoropolyether to a supercritical carbon dioxide system containing water and proved that the large biological molecule bovine serum albumin dissolved inside the micelles that form via water droplet surrounded by fluoroether molecules. Subsequent to that, Eric Beckman proved that the protease subtilisin Carlsberg can be extracted from crude (impure) cell broth because that protease preferentially dissolves in a supercritical carbon dioxide/water system containing fluoroether amphiphiles as surfactants.

Supercritical Fluid Refers to a material that has been heated to a temperature above its (normal atmospheric pressure) boiling point, but which is kept in a state that resembles a liquid via the application of high pressure. Less commonly, refers to a liquid that has been cooled to a temperature below its normal freezing point, but which is kept in a liquid state by various means. For example, water will remain “liquid” up to a temperature of 375°C (617°F) if it is placed under enough pressure. Ammonia will remain “liquid” up to a temperature of 133°C (271°F) if it is placed under enough pressure, despite
Sthe fact that ammonia normally becomes a gas (at standard atmospheric pressure) whenever the temperature is higher than –33.35°C (–30°F).
One predatory mite (Alaskozetes antarcticus) living in Antarctica is able to survive subfreezing temperatures by preventing ice crystals from forming (i.e., supercritical water) inside its body, even when the environmental temperature is below the freezing point (i.e., supercritical). Most supercritical fluids have unique physical properties (e.g., they are often better solvents than their true liquid forms). Some supercritical fluids (e.g., supercritical carbon dioxide) can be used to
extract biological molecules (e.g., chlorophyll) from mixtures (e.g., ground-up plant leaves). After the biological molecule has dissolved out of the mixture, the biological molecule is recovered by releasing pressure so the carbon dioxide returns to gaseous form, and drifts away.

Suppressor Gene A gene that can reverse the effect of a specific type of mutation in other genes, such as a premature termination sequence. See also GENE, TRANSWITCH®.
Suppressor Mutation A mutation that totally or partially restores a function lost by a primary mutation. It is located at a site in the gene different from the site of the primary mutation. See also GENE.
Suppressor T Cells Those T cells (thymusderived lymphocytes) that are triggered (after other types of T cells and other immune system cells have successfully fought off an infection) to slow down gradually and halt the body’s immune response (to the now-conquered pathogen). Discovered by Tomio Tada in 1971, suppressor T cells inhibit B cell activity. Failure to halt the immune response in time could lead to harm to the body by its own immune system. The B and T lymphocytes are indistinguishable in size and general morphology. Only the existence or nonexistence of certain proteins on their cell surfaces distinguishes the two classes of lymphocytes. See also CELLU-

CYTES, T CELLS, AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE.
Supramolecular Assembly Refers to a very large molecular structure. See also SELF-
ASSEMBLY (OF A LARGE MOLECULAR STRUC-
TURE).
Surfactant Acronym for surface active agent. Amphipathic molecules (i.e., molecules that contain both a polar and nonpolar domain) which, due to their unique properties, position themselves at interfacial regions (surfaces) such as an oil/water interface. When surfactants are dissolved above a certain critical concentration in either water or nonpolar solvents, they may form micelles or reverse micelles, respectively. Surfactants are

TCell Receptors Antibody-like transmembrane (i.e., across the cell’s surface membrane) proteins located on the surface of T cells. These trigger the (cellular) immune response that is mounted by T cells when these receptors bind to antigens (foreign pieces of antigenic protein) that have been “presented” to these receptors by an MHC protein which itself is located on the surface of phagocytic (i.e., scavenging, pathogeningesting) B lymphocyte. Antibodies in the blood recognize native antigen macromolecules (large molecules), whereas T cell receptors recognize fragments derived from those antigen macromolecules (upon presentation at the surface of B lymphocytes following ingestion and digestion by the
B lymphocytes). See also ANTIBODY, ANTIGEN,
