Compounds (15)
| Compound | Description |
|---|
| diphosphoric acid | |
| hydronium ion | |
| Uridine Triphosphate | Uridine 5'-(tetrahydrogen triphosphate). A uracil nucleotide containing three phosphate groups esterified to the sugar moiety. |
| Magnesium | A 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. |
| iodoacetamide | An alkylating sulfhydryl reagent. Its actions are similar to those of iodoacetate. |
| diethyl pyrocarbonate | Preservative for wines, soft drinks, and fruit juices and a gentle esterifying agent. |
| ethylmaleimide | A sulfhydryl reagent that is widely used in experimental biochemical studies. |
| glucosamine 6-phosphate | RN given refers to parent cpd |
| glutamate | |
| Glucose-6-Phosphate | An 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) |
| polyglutamine | RN given for (D)-isomer |
| uridine diphosphate n-acetylmuramic acid | A 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 A | Acetyl 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-phosphate | inhibits glucosamine 6-phosphate deaminase |
