| bisphenol a-glycidyl methacrylate | <chemical> The reaction product of bisphenol a and glycidyl methacrylate that undergoes polymerization when exposed to ultraviolet light or mixed with a catalyst. It is used as a bond implant material and as the resin component of dental sealants and composite restorative materials. Chemical name: 2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, (1-methylethylidene)bis(4,1-phenyleneoxy(2-hydroxy-3,1-propanediyl)) ester (12 Dec 1998) |

| bisphosphoglycerate mutase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the transfer of phosphate from c-3 of 1,3-diphosphoglycerate to c-2 of 3-phosphoglycerate, forming 2,3-diphosphoglycerate. Chemical name: 3-Phospho-D-glycerate 1,2-phosphomutase Registry number: EC 5.4.2.4 (12 Dec 1998) |
| bisphospoglycerate | Previously known as 1,3-diphosphoglycerate (1,3DPG), this molecule is the first molecule that generates ATP in glycolysis. Its phosphorylgroupgenerates a high-potential phosphorylated compound through a redoxreaction.1,3BPG is also responsible for the production of an allosteric effector of haemoglobin, 2, 3-bisphosphoglycerate (2, 3BPG). Inthis reaction, a phosphoryl group is transferred from 1,3BPG to the C-2of 3PG. This yields 2, 3BPG and a different 3PG molecule. (09 Oct 1997) |
