| Compound | Description |
|---|---|
| phosphoric acid | concise etchant is 37% H3PO4 |
| guanosine monophosphate | A guanine nucleotide containing one phosphate group esterified to the sugar moiety and found widely in nature. |
| adenine | A purine base and a fundamental unit of ADENINE NUCLEOTIDES. |
| ammonium hydroxide | The hydroxy salt of ammonium ion. It is formed when AMMONIA reacts with water molecules in solution. |
| 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. |
| uridine | A ribonucleoside in which RIBOSE is linked to URACIL. |
| uridine monophosphate | 5'-Uridylic acid. A uracil nucleotide containing one phosphate group esterified to the sugar moiety in the 2', 3' or 5' position. |
| uridine diphosphate | A uracil nucleotide containing a pyrophosphate group esterified to C5 of the sugar moiety. |
| adenosine monophosphate | Adenine nucleotide containing one phosphate group esterified to the sugar moiety in the 2'-, 3'-, or 5'-position. |
| adenosine | A 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 pyrophosphate | The key substance in the biosynthesis of histidine, tryptophan, and purine and pyrimidine nucleotides. |
| Water | A 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) |
| dihydrofolate | RN given refers to (L)-isomer |
| guanosine diphosphate | A guanine nucleotide containing two phosphate groups esterified to the sugar moiety. |
| guanine | |
| guanosine | A purine nucleoside that has guanine linked by its N9 nitrogen to the C1 carbon of ribose. It is a component of ribonucleic acid and its nucleotides play important roles in metabolism. (From Dorland, 28th ed) |
| thymine | One of four constituent bases of DNA. |
| uracil | One of four nucleotide bases in the nucleic acid RNA. |
| ribose 1-phosphate | RN given refers to (D)-isomer |
| Ribose | A pentose active in biological systems usually in its D-form. |
| 2-deoxyribose 1-phosphate, (alpha-d-erythro)-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. |
| thymidine | A nucleoside in which THYMINE is linked to DEOXYRIBOSE. |
| cytidine monophosphate | Cytidine (dihydrogen phosphate). A cytosine nucleotide containing one phosphate group esterified to the sugar moiety in the 2', 3' or 5' position. |
| cytidine diphosphate | Cytidine 5'-(trihydrogen diphosphate). A cytosine nucleotide containing two phosphate groups esterified to the sugar moiety. Synonyms: CRPP; cytidine pyrophosphate. |
| cytidine | A pyrimidine nucleoside that is composed of the base CYTOSINE linked to the five-carbon sugar D-RIBOSE. |
| thymidine monophosphate | 5-Thymidylic acid. A thymine nucleotide containing one phosphate group esterified to the deoxyribose moiety. |
| thymidine 5'-diphosphate | see also record for thymidine 3',5'-diphosphate, RN 2863-04-9 |
| 2'-deoxyuridylic acid | RN given refers to parent cpd |
