| glyceric | <chemistry> Pertaining to, or derived from, glycerin. <chemistry> Glyceric acid, an organic acid, obtained by the partial oxidation of glycerin, as a thick liquid. It is a hydroxyl derivative of propionic acid, and has both acid and alcoholic properties. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| glyceric acid | HOCH2-CHOH-COOH;the fatty acid analog of glycerol; occurs particularly in the form of phosphorylated derivatives, as an intermediate in glycolysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glyceric aldehyde | <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) |
| d-glyceric aciduria | 1. Elevated levels of d-glyceric acid in the urine. 2. An inborn error in metabolism resulting in d-glyceric aciduria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| l-glyceric aciduria | Excretion of l-glyceric acid in the urine; a primary metabolic error due to deficiency of d-glyceric dehydrogenase resulting in excretion of l-glyceric and oxalic acids, leading to the clinical syndrome of oxalosis with frequent formation of oxalate renal calculi.

| acids, carbocyclic | Carboxylic acids that have a homocyclic ring structure in which all the ring atoms are carbon. (12 Dec 1998) |
| acids, heterocyclic | A class of acids containing a ring structure in which atleast one atom other than carbon is incorporated. (12 Dec 1998) |
| acids, noncarboxylic | Inorganic acids with a non metal, other than carbon, attached to hydrogen, or an acid radical containing no carbon. (12 Dec 1998) |
| acroleic acids | A series of unsaturated aliphatic acids of the general formula R==CH-COOH; the prototype, acrylic acid (R=CH2) or 2-propenoic acid, is derived from propionic acid by reduction or from glycerol by dehydration. Synonym: acroleic acids. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acrylic acids | A series of unsaturated aliphatic acids of the general formula R==CH-COOH; the prototype, acrylic acid (R=CH2) or 2-propenoic acid, is derived from propionic acid by reduction or from glycerol by dehydration. Synonym: acroleic acids. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adipic acids | A group of dicarboxylic acids that are structurally related to hexanedioic acid (adipic acid). (12 Dec 1998) |
| aldonic acids | Monosaccharide derivatives in which the aldehyde group has been oxidised to a carboxyl group. They may form lactones (e.g., galactonic acid). Synonym: glyconic acids. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aliphatic acids | The acids of nonaromatic hydrocarbons (e.g., acetic, propionic, butyric acids); the so-called fatty acids of the formula R-COOH, where R is a nonaromatic (aliphatic) hydrocarbon. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alkanesulfonic acids | Sulfonic acid derivatives that are substituted with an aliphatic hydrocarbon group. (12 Dec 1998) |
| amino acids | Organic compounds that generally contain an amino (-nh2) and a carboxyl (-cooh) group. Twenty alpha-amino acids are the subunits which are polymerised to form proteins. (12 Dec 1998) |
