| Compound | Description |
|---|---|
| diphosphoric acid | |
| hydronium ion | |
| Orthophosphate | |
| malate | |
| Carbon Dioxide | A colorless, odorless gas that can be formed by the body and is necessary for the respiration cycle of plants and animals. |
| Aspartate | |
| Adenosine Triphosphate | An adenine nucleotide containing three phosphate groups esterified to the sugar moiety. In addition to its crucial roles in metabolism adenosine triphosphate is a neurotransmitter. |
| adenosine diphosphate | Adenosine 5'-(trihydrogen diphosphate). An adenine nucleotide containing two phosphate groups esterified to the sugar moiety at the 5'-position. |
| adenosine monophosphate | Adenine nucleotide containing one phosphate group esterified to the sugar moiety in the 2'-, 3'-, or 5'-position. |
| hydrogen carbonate | |
| Magnesium | A metallic element that has the atomic symbol Mg, atomic number 12, and atomic weight 24.31. It is important for the activity of many enzymes, especially those involved in OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION. |
| Water | A clear, odorless, tasteless liquid that is essential for most animal and plant life and is an excellent solvent for many substances. The chemical formula is hydrogen oxide (H2O). (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed) |
| Pyruvic Acid | An intermediate compound in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. In thiamine deficiency, its oxidation is retarded and it accumulates in the tissues, especially in nervous structures. (From Stedman, 26th ed) |
| ribulose-1,5 diphosphate | RN given refers to cpd without isomeric designation |
| glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate | An aldotriose which is an important intermediate in glycolysis and in tryptophan biosynthesis. |
| xylulose-5-phosphate, (d)-isomer | |
| alpha-ketoglutaric acid | |
| Glutamate | |
| dihydroxyacetone phosphate | An important intermediate in lipid biosynthesis and in glycolysis. |
| fructose-6-phosphate | RN given refers to parent cpd with unspecified isomeric designation |
| 3-phosphoglycerate | |
| fructose-1,6-diphosphate | RN refers to (D)-isomer |
| oxaloacetic acid | A dicarboxylic acid ketone that is an important metabolic intermediate of the CITRIC ACID CYCLE. It can be converted to ASPARTIC ACID by ASPARTATE TRANSAMINASE. |
| sedoheptulose 1,7-bisphosphate | |
| sedoheptulose 7-phosphate | |
| ribulose 5-phosphate | RN given refers to cpd without isomeric designation |
| creolin | from refined coal tar oils |
| Phosphoenolpyruvate | A monocarboxylic acid anion derived from selective deprotonation of the carboxy group of phosphoenolpyruvic acid. It is a metabolic intermediate in GLYCOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS; and other pathways. |
