2.2009 January, Bernard Russo and James J. Tattersall, "Program of the Sessions: Washington, District of Columbia, January 5–8, 2009", Notices of the American Mathematical Society, 56:1[1], page 143:
4:00PM (722) An upper bound for the number of graceful labelings of a path with n edges. Sylvia R. Naples, Bard College
3.(biochemistry) 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.
4.1992, David C. Morrison and John Louis Ryan, Bacterial Endotoxic Lipopolysaccharides: Molecular biochemistry and cellular biology, ISBN 0849367875, page 407:
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.
