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.
serum p-componentclose relation to C reactive protein; may be ovosomucoid
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)
2,4,6-Trinitrobenzene Sulfonate
alpha-Ketoglutarate
ethylmaleimideA sulfhydryl reagent that is widely used in experimental biochemical studies.
3-phenylpyruvate
alpha-keto-isovaleric acid
maleate
glutamate
prephenate
tetranitromethaneCorrosive oxidant, explosive; additive to diesel and rocket fuels; causes skin and lung irritation; proposed war gas. A useful reagent for studying the modification of specific amino acids, particularly tyrosine residues in proteins. Has also been used for studying carbanion formation and for detecting the presence of double bonds in organic compounds.
