Compounds (10)

CompoundDescription
diphosphoric acid
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.
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)
indoleglycerol phosphateinducer of tryptophan synthase
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)
anthranilate
glutamate
polyglutamineRN given for (D)-isomer
indoleRN given refers to parent cpd; structure in Merck Index, 9th ed, #4840
