| Compound | Description |
|---|
| Adenosine Triphosphate | An adenine nucleotide containing three phosphate groups esterified to the sugar moiety. In addition to its crucial roles in metabolism adenosine triphosphate is a neurotransmitter. |
| adenosine diphosphate | Adenosine 5'-(trihydrogen diphosphate). An adenine nucleotide containing two phosphate groups esterified to the sugar moiety at the 5'-position. |
| formaldehyde | A highly reactive aldehyde gas formed by oxidation or incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons. In solution, it has a wide range of uses: in the manufacture of resins and textiles, as a disinfectant, and as a laboratory fixative or preservative. Formaldehyde solution (formalin) is considered a hazardous compound, and its vapor toxic. (From Reynolds, Martindale The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p717) |
| erythrose 4-phosphate | RN given refers to (R-(R*,R*))-isomer |
| arabino-3-hexulose-6-phosphate | |
| xylulose-5-phosphate, (d)-isomer | |
| Hydrogen | The first chemical element in the periodic table with atomic symbol H, and atomic number 1. Protium (atomic weight 1) is by far the most common hydrogen isotope. Hydrogen also exists as the stable isotope DEUTERIUM (atomic weight 2) and the radioactive isotope TRITIUM (atomic weight 3). Hydrogen forms into a diatomic molecule at room temperature and appears as a highly flammable colorless and odorless gas. |
| fructose-1,6-diphosphate | RN refers to (D)-isomer |
| dihydroxyacetone phosphate | An important intermediate in lipid biosynthesis and in glycolysis. |
| Glyceraldehyde 3-Phosphate | An aldotriose which is an important intermediate in glycolysis and in tryptophan biosynthesis. |
| sedoheptulose 7-phosphate | |
| ribulose 5-phosphate | RN given refers to cpd without isomeric designation |
