| mycothiol-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Registry number: EC 1.2.1.- Synonym: mdf dehydrogenase (26 Jun 1999) |

| active formaldehyde | A hydroxymethyl derivative of tetrahydrofolate or thiamin pyrophosphate, N5,N10-methylenetetrahydrofo late. (05 Mar 2000) |
| melamine formaldehyde | A plastic material mixed with plaster of Paris for casts. Such a cast is lighter and stronger than one made with plaster of Paris alone. Synonym: melamine formaldehyde. (05 Mar 2000) |
| formaldehyde | <chemical> Commonly used fixative and antibacterial agent. As a fixative it is cheap and tends to cause less denaturation of proteins than does glutaraldehyde, particularly if used in a well buffered solution (buffered formalin, formal saline). Old formaldehyde solutions usually contain cross linking contaminants and it is therefore often preferable to used a formaldehyde generating agent such as paraformaldehyde. Formalin fumes, particularly in conjunction with hydrochloric acid vapour, are potently carcinogenic. (20 Jun 2000) |
| formaldehyde dismutase | <enzyme> Contains noncovalently bound nad(h); forms equimolar amounts of corresponding alcohols and acids from various aldehydes Registry number: EC 1.1.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| formaldehyde ferredoxin oxidoreductase | <enzyme> Contains molybdopterin as the organic component of tungsten cofactor Registry number: EC 1.2.7.- Synonym: hcho ferredoxin oxidoreductase (26 Jun 1999) |
| formaldehyde fixative | A widely used fixing agent for pathologic histology; the commercial solution is 37-40% formaldehyde and is known as 100% formalin or formol; a common impurity is formic acid, which must be neutralised or the fixative made in buffer solution; tissues fixed may have a pigment artifact precipitated.
