| ferrous fumarate | Iron fumarate, a haematinic. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| Lillie's ferrous iron stain | <technique> A method using potassium ferrocyanide in acetic acid which demonstrates melanins as a deep green colour; lipofuscins and haem pigments are unreactive. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pentapiperide fumarate | 3-Methyl-2-phenylvaleric acid 1-methyl-4-piperidyl ester fumarate;an intestinal antispasmodic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| H(2) fumarate reductase | <enzyme> Contains hydrogenase coupled with fumarate reductase by one or more unknown intermediary electron carriers; fumarate yields acetate + succinate Registry number: EC 1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| fumarate | <biochemistry> A dicarboxylic acid intermediate in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Can be derived from aspartate, phenylalanine and tyrosine for input to the Krebs cycle. (18 Nov 1997) |
| fumarate hydratase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the reversible hydration of fumaric acid to yield l-malic acid. It is one of the citric acid cycle enzymes. Chemical name: (S)-Malate hydro-lyase Registry number: EC 4.2.1.2 (12 Dec 1998) |
| fumarate reductase | <enzyme> Registry number: EC 1.3.99.1 (12 Dec 1998) |
| pneumococcal polysaccharide | A soluble type-specific polysaccharide produced during active growth of virulent pneumococci composing a large part of the capsule. Synonym: pneumococcal polysaccharide, soluble specific substance, specific soluble polysaccharide, specific soluble sugar. (05 Mar 2000) |
| polysaccharide | <biochemistry> Polymers of (arbitrarily) more than about ten monosaccharide residues linked glycosidically in branched or unbranched chains. (18 Nov 1997) |
| polysaccharide deacetylase | <enzyme> Involved in bacteriophage penetration of bacteria Registry number: EC 3.5.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| polysaccharide-lyases | <enzyme> A group of carbon-oxygen lyases. These enzymes catalyze the breakage of a carbon-oxygen bond in polysaccharides leading to an unsaturated product and the elimination of an alcohol. Registry number: EC 4.2.2. (12 Dec 1998) |
| polysaccharide pyruvyltransferase | <enzyme> Catalyses the pyruvylation of capsular polysaccharides; phosphoenolpyruvate is donor at the lipid-bound saccharide stage of various bacterial polysaccharides Registry number: EC 2.2.1.- Synonym: capsular polysaccharide pyruvyltransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| polysaccharide sulfate esters | Sulfate esters of polysaccharides often found in cell walls. (05 Mar 2000) |
| C polysaccharide | <microbiology> Polysaccharide released by pneumococci which contains galactosamine 6 phosphate and phosphoryl choline. C-reactive protein is so called because it will precipitate this polysaccharide through an interaction with the phosphoryl choline. (18 Nov 1997) |
| specific soluble polysaccharide | A soluble type-specific polysaccharide produced during active growth of virulent pneumococci composing a large part of the capsule. Synonym: pneumococcal polysaccharide, soluble specific substance, specific soluble polysaccharide, specific soluble sugar. (05 Mar 2000) |
