| amide | <biochemistry> An organic compound which contains a -CONH2 group. Any of the organic compounds produced when a hydrogen atom of ammonia (NH3) is replaced with a metal. (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| amide linkage | <biochemistry> This is a carboxylic acid containing an amino group (-NH2). In an alpha amino acid, the amino group is attached to the carbon atom directly beside the carboxyl group. (09 Oct 1997) |
| amide oximes | The oximes of amides with the general formula, R-C(NH2)-NOH. Synonym: amide oximes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amide synthases | <enzyme> Enzymes that catalyze the joining of either ammonia or an amide with another molecule, in which the linkage is in the form of a carbon-nitrogen bond. Registry number: EC 6.3.1 (12 Dec 1998) |
| amides | Organic compounds containing the -co-nh2 radical. Amides are derived from acids by replacement of -oh by -nh2 or from ammonia by the replacement of h by an acyl group. (12 Dec 1998) |
| acetic amide | <chemistry> A white crystalline solid, from ammonia by replacement of an equivalent of hydrogen by acetyl. It is used as a solvent and acts as a mild irritant. (25 Jun 1999) |
