| acidic | <chemical> Containing a high percentage of silica; opposed to basic. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| acidic amino acid | An Amino acid with a second acid moiety, e.g., glutamic acid, aspartic acid, cysteic acid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acidic anhydride | <chemistry> A substance (such as the oxide of a nonmetallic element) that will react with water to form an acid. (09 Oct 1997) |
| acidic dyes | Dye's which ionise in solution to produce negatively charged ions or anions; they consist of sodium salts of phenols and carboxylic acid dyes; their solutions tend to be neutral or slightly alkaline; examples are eosin and aniline blue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glial fibrillary acidic protein | <protein> This protein, found in microfilaments of glial cells, helps distinguish glial from nonglial tumours. A laboratory stain is used to test for its presence. (16 Dec 1997) |
| Myxococcus acidic endoprotease | <enzyme> From myxococcus xanthus; cleaves phe-met bond of kappa-casein at pH 5.9; 12 kD; amino acid sequence given in first source Registry number: EC 3.4.99.- Synonym: maep (26 Jun 1999) |
| N-acetylated-alpha-linked acidic dipeptidase | <enzyme> Chloride-dependent membrane bound metallopeptidase, most active with the endogenous neuropeptide n-acetyl-l-aspartyl-l-glutamate Registry number: EC 3.4.13.- Synonym: naaladase, glutamate carboxypeptidase II, prostate-specific membrane antigen, psm antigen (26 Jun 1999) |
| fibroblast growth factor, acidic | <chemical> A growth factor which has been isolated from a variety of cells. It contains 154 amino acid residues and has potent heparin-binding activity. Heparin potentiates the biological activities of afgf. The growth factor is an extremely potent inducer of DNA synthesis in a variety of normal diploid mammalian cell types from mesoderm and neuroectoderm lineages and also has chemotactic and mitogenic activities. Chemical name: Fibroblast growth factor (human brain acidic protein moiety reduced) (12 Dec 1998) |
