CompoundDescription
phosphoenolpyruvateA 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.
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
glyceraldehyde 3-phosphateAn aldotriose which is an important intermediate in glycolysis and in tryptophan biosynthesis.
dihydroxyacetone phosphateAn important intermediate in lipid biosynthesis and in glycolysis.
2-C-methylerythritol 4-phosphatestructure in first source
1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate
4-diphosphocytidyl-2C methylerythritol 2-phosphatestructure in first source
3,3-dimethylallyl pyrophosphateisomeric with isopentenyl pyrophosphate
