| carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone | <chemical> A proton ionophore. It is commonly used as an uncoupling agent and inhibitor of photosynthesis because of its effects on mitochondrial and chloroplast membranes. Pharmacological action: uncoupling agents, ionophores. Chemical name: Propanedinitrile, ((3-chlorophenyl)hydrazono)- (12 Dec 1998) |
| carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone | <chemical> A proton ionophore that is commonly used as an uncoupling agent in biochemical studies. Pharmacological action: ionophores, uncoupling agents. Chemical name: Propanedinitrile, ((4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)hydrazono)- (12 Dec 1998) |
| carbonyl group | A group in which an oxygen atom is double-bonded to a carbon atom: O=C. The carbon atom then has two additional bonds to attach to the rest of the molecule. Organic molecules containing a carbonyl group are a very important, major group of compounds studied in the field of organic chemistry. (09 Oct 1997) |
| pig lung carbonyl reductase | <enzyme> Tetrameric carbonyl reductase; mw 24 kD; properties distinct from monomeric cr; it is mainly distributed in the mitochondria of the pig lung; exhibits very low substrate specificity for aromatic and aliphatic carbonyl compounds and catalyses the oxidation of secondary alcohols and aldehydes; activated 2-5 fold by fatty acids ddbj/embl/genbank d16511 Registry number: EC 1.1.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
