CompoundDescription
phosphoric acidconcise etchant is 37% H3PO4
5-methyltetrahydrofolate
ammonium hydroxideThe hydroxy salt of ammonium ion. It is formed when AMMONIA reacts with water molecules in solution.
Carbon DioxideA colorless, odorless gas that can be formed by the body and is necessary for the respiration cycle of plants and animals.
NADH
Adenosine TriphosphateAn 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 diphosphateAdenosine 5'-(trihydrogen diphosphate). An adenine nucleotide containing two phosphate groups esterified to the sugar moiety at the 5'-position.
methionineA sulfur-containing essential L-amino acid that is important in many body functions.
glycineA non-essential amino acid. It is found primarily in gelatin and silk fibroin and used therapeutically as a nutrient. It is also a fast inhibitory neurotransmitter.
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)
dihydrofolateRN given refers to (L)-isomer
5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolic acidRN given refers to (DL)-isomer
dihydropteroatestructure
5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate
formic acidRN given refers to parent cpd
glutamate
HydrogenThe 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.
NADA coenzyme composed of ribosylnicotinamide 5'-diphosphate coupled to adenosine 5'-phosphate by pyrophosphate linkage. It is found widely in nature and is involved in numerous enzymatic reactions in which it serves as an electron carrier by being alternately oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH). (Dorland, 27th ed)
thymidine monophosphate5-Thymidylic acid. A thymine nucleotide containing one phosphate group esterified to the deoxyribose moiety.
creolinfrom refined coal tar oils
2'-deoxyuridylic acidRN given refers to parent cpd
homocysteineA thiol-containing amino acid formed by a demethylation of METHIONINE.
