Compounds (16)

CompoundDescription
hydronium ion
Carbon DioxideA colorless, odorless gas that can be formed by the body and is necessary for the respiration cycle of plants and animals.
adenosine diphosphateAdenosine 5'-(trihydrogen diphosphate). An adenine nucleotide containing two phosphate groups esterified to the sugar moiety at the 5'-position.
WaterA 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 AcidAn 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)
isopentenyl pyrophosphatesubstrate for isopentenyl pyrophosphate isomerase; RN given refers to unlabeled cpd; a nonpeptide mycobacterial antigen that stimulates gamma delta T cells
3-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroxybutane-1,3-cyclic bisphosphatestructure given in first source; a novel cyclic diphosphodiester cpd isolated from Desulfovibrio desulfuricans
(e)-4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-enyl diphosphatestructure in first source
adenosine triphosphateAn adenine nucleotide containing three phosphate groups esterified to the sugar moiety. In addition to its crucial roles in metabolism adenosine triphosphate is a neurotransmitter.
cytidine monophosphateCytidine (dihydrogen phosphate). A cytosine nucleotide containing one phosphate group esterified to the sugar moiety in the 2', 3' or 5' position.
cytidine triphosphateCytidine 5'-(tetrahydrogen triphosphate). A cytosine nucleotide containing three phosphate groups esterified to the sugar moiety.
2-c-methylerythritol 4-phosphatestructure in first source
4-diphosphocytidyl-2C methylerythritol 2-phosphatestructure in first source
1-deoxy-d-xylulose 5-phosphate
creolinfrom refined coal tar oils
3,3-dimethylallyl pyrophosphateisomeric with isopentenyl pyrophosphate
