| hydronium ion | |
| NADH | |
| 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) |
| Oxygen | An element with atomic symbol O, atomic number 8, and atomic weight [15.99903; 15.99977]. It is the most abundant element on earth and essential for respiration. |
| isopentenyl pyrophosphate | substrate for isopentenyl pyrophosphate isomerase; RN given refers to unlabeled cpd; a nonpeptide mycobacterial antigen that stimulates gamma delta T cells |
| farnesyl pyrophosphate | a sesquiterpene that dimerizes to SQUALENE; RN given refers to cpd without isomeric designation |
| geranyl pyrophosphate | RN given refers to (E)-isomer |
| NAD | A coenzyme composed of ribosylnicotinamide 5'-diphosphate coupled to adenosine 5'-phosphate by pyrophosphate linkage. It is found widely in nature and is involved in numerous enzymatic reactions in which it serves as an electron carrier by being alternately oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH). (Dorland, 27th ed) |
| pyrophosphate | |
| 3,3-dimethylallyl pyrophosphate | isomeric with isopentenyl pyrophosphate |
