Compounds (22)

CompoundDescription
1-propanolA colorless liquid made by oxidation of aliphatic hydrocarbons that is used as a solvent and chemical intermediate.
hydronium ion
n-Butyrate
Thiamine PyrophosphateThe coenzyme form of Vitamin B1 present in many animal tissues. It is a required intermediate in the PYRUVATE DEHYDROGENASE COMPLEX and the KETOGLUTARATE DEHYDROGENASE COMPLEX.
Carbon DioxideA colorless, odorless gas that can be formed by the body and is necessary for the respiration cycle of plants and animals.
iodoacetamideAn alkylating sulfhydryl reagent. Its actions are similar to those of iodoacetate.
benzoylacetone
Pyruvic AcidAn intermediate compound in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. In thiamine deficiency, its oxidation is retarded and it accumulates in the tissues, especially in nervous structures. (From Stedman, 26th ed)
acetoneA colorless liquid used as a solvent and an antiseptic. It is one of the ketone bodies produced during ketoacidosis.
1-butanolA four carbon linear hydrocarbon that has a hydroxy group at position 1.
Sodium Dodecyl SulfateAn anionic surfactant, usually a mixture of sodium alkyl sulfates, mainly the lauryl; lowers surface tension of aqueous solutions; used as fat emulsifier, wetting agent, detergent in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and toothpastes; also as research tool in protein biochemistry.
acetopyruvate
4-ChloromercuribenzenesulfonateA cytotoxic sulfhydryl reagent that inhibits several subcellular metabolic systems and is used as a tool in cellular physiology.
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.
methylethyl ketonesolvent; colorless synthetic resins, smokeless powders; may be irritating to eyes, mucous membranes; may be toxic in high concentrations; structure
acetoacetate
hydrogen cyanideHydrogen cyanide (HCN); A toxic liquid or colorless gas. It is found in the smoke of various tobacco products and released by combustion of nitrogen-containing organic materials.
Coenzyme A
sapropterinRN given refers to parent cpd; co-factor required for catalytic activity of nitric oxide synthases
acetylacetone
acetoacetyl CoA
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.
