Compounds (15)

CompoundDescription
diphosphoric acid
hydronium ion
Uridine TriphosphateUridine 5'-(tetrahydrogen triphosphate). A uracil nucleotide containing three phosphate groups esterified to the sugar moiety.
MagnesiumA metallic element that has the atomic symbol Mg, atomic number 12, and atomic weight 24.31. It is important for the activity of many enzymes, especially those involved in OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION.
iodoacetamideAn alkylating sulfhydryl reagent. Its actions are similar to those of iodoacetate.
diethyl pyrocarbonatePreservative for wines, soft drinks, and fruit juices and a gentle esterifying agent.
ethylmaleimideA sulfhydryl reagent that is widely used in experimental biochemical studies.
glucosamine 6-phosphateRN given refers to parent cpd
glutamate
Glucose-6-PhosphateAn ester of glucose with phosphoric acid, made in the course of glucose metabolism by mammalian and other cells. It is a normal constituent of resting muscle and probably is in constant equilibrium with fructose-6-phosphate. (Stedman, 26th ed)
polyglutamineRN given for (D)-isomer
uridine diphosphate n-acetylmuramic acidA nucleoside diphosphate sugar which is formed from UDP-N-acetylglucosamine and phosphoenolpyruvate. It serves as the building block upon which peptidoglycan is formed.
Coenzyme A
Acetyl Coenzyme AAcetyl CoA participates in the biosynthesis of fatty acids and sterols, in the oxidation of fatty acids and in the metabolism of many amino acids. It also acts as a biological acetylating agent.
2-deoxy-2-aminoglucitol-6-phosphateinhibits glucosamine 6-phosphate deaminase
