| Gly | Symbol for glycine or its acyl radical, glycyl. (05 Mar 2000) |

| glyburide | <drug> An oral hypoglycemic agent (a prescription drug that people take to lower the level of glucose in the blood). The pills work for some people whose pancreas still makes some insulin. They can help the body in several ways, such as by causing the cells in the pancreas to release more insulin. (09 Oct 1997) |
| glycaemia | <biochemistry> Glycaemia is a medical term meaning that the blood contains the sugar glucose. Origin: Gr. Glykys = sweet, haima = blood (09 Oct 1997) |
| glycal | An unsaturated sugar derivative in which the adjacent hydroxyl groups are removed, one of which is that upon the carbon-1 of the aldose (or carbon-2 of the ketose), yielding a CH==CH between these two positions. Synonym: glucal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glycan | <biochemistry> Polymers of (arbitrarily) more than about ten monosaccharide residues linked glycosidically in branched or unbranched chains. (18 Nov 1997) |
| glycanase | <enzyme> Catalyses hydrolysis of beta-d-glucosido-(1-73)-d-glucuronic acid link in capsular glycan of klebsiella bacteriophage no. 11. Registry number: EC 3.2.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| glycanohydrolases | Hydrolases acting on glycans; e.g., chitinase, hyaluronoglucosidase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glycate | The product of the nonenzymic reaction between a sugar and the free amino group(s) of proteins in which it is not known if the sugar is attached by a glycosyl or a glycoside linkage, or has formed a Schiff base. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glycation | <biochemistry> The uncontrolled, non-enzymatic reaction of sugars with proteins. Chemical glycation is also very important in the damage done to diabetics when their sugar levels rise above normal, and in damage done to critical proteins of long-lived nerve cells in aging. (14 Nov 1997) |
| glyceraldehdye 3 phosphate | <biochemistry> Three carbon intermediate of the glycolytic pathway formed by the cleavage of fructose 1,6 bisphosphate, catalysed by the enzyme aldolase. Also involved in reversible interchange between glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway. (18 Nov 1997) |
| glyceraldehyde | <biochemistry> A type of aldose with the chemical formula C3H6O3. This molecule is used as the reference molecule for handedness (L, lefthanded, or D, right-handed stereochemical configuration) in amino acids, carbohydrates, etc. (09 Oct 1997) |
| glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate | <biochemistry> In glycolysis, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate is created from dihydroxyacetone phosphate with the aid of triose-phosphate isomerase. In turn, it an dorganic phosphate and NAD+ are converted into 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate, NADH and free hydrogen with the aid of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase. (09 Oct 1997) |
| glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase | <biochemistry> In glycolysis, this enzyme catalyses the conversion of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and organic phosphate and NAD+ into 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate and NADH and free hydrogens (and viceversa) by transferring hydrogens and electrons between the molecules. (09 Oct 1997) |
| glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate phosphatase | <enzyme> Groundnut enzyme converts glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to glyceraldehyde Registry number: EC 3.1.3.- Synonym: glph phosphatase (26 Jun 1999) |
| glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate ferredoxin oxidoreductase | <enzyme> N-terminal amino acid sequence given in first source Registry number: EC 1.2.7.- Synonym: gapor (26 Jun 1999) |
| RNA, transfer, gly | A transfer RNA which is specific for carrying glycine to sites on the ribosomes in preparation for protein synthesis. (12 Dec 1998) |
