Compounds (11)

CompoundDescription
hydronium ion
Orthophosphate
adenineA purine base and a fundamental unit of ADENINE NUCLEOTIDES.
adenosineA nucleoside that is composed of ADENINE and D-RIBOSE. Adenosine or adenosine derivatives play many important biological roles in addition to being components of DNA and RNA. Adenosine itself is a neurotransmitter.
phosphoribosyl pyrophosphateThe key substance in the biosynthesis of histidine, tryptophan, and purine and pyrimidine nucleotides.
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)
C.I. Direct Blue 53
ribose 1-phosphateRN given refers to (D)-isomer
xanthosine
xanthosine 5'-triphosphateRN given refers to parent cpd
xanthineA purine base found in most body tissues and fluids, certain plants, and some urinary calculi. It is an intermediate in the degradation of adenosine monophosphate to uric acid, being formed by oxidation of hypoxanthine. The methylated xanthine compounds caffeine, theobromine, and theophylline and their derivatives are used in medicine for their bronchodilator effects. (Dorland, 28th ed)
