Compounds (7)
Compound | Description |
hydrogen sulfide | A flammable, poisonous gas with a characteristic odor of rotten eggs. It is used in the manufacture of chemicals, in metallurgy, and as an analytical reagent. (From Merck Index, 11th ed) |
Aspartate | |
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) |
alpha-Ketoglutarate | |
3-mercaptopyruvate | |
glutamate | |
Cysteine | A thiol-containing non-essential amino acid that is oxidized to form CYSTINE. |
