| 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) |

| 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) |
| 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.

| acetic aldehyde | <chemical> A colourless, flammable liquid used in the manufacture of acetic acid, perfumes, and flavors. It is also an intermediate in the metabolism of alcohol. It has a general narcotic action and also causes irritation of mucous membranes. Large doses may cause death from respiratory paralysis. Chemical name: Acetaldehyde (12 Dec 1998) |
| active aldehyde | Any aldehyde derivative of thiamin pyrophosphate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aflatoxin B1 aldehyde reductase | <enzyme> Catalyses the conversion of the dialdehydic form of aflatoxin b1-dihydrodiol to the dialcohol form Registry number: EC 1.1.1.- Synonym: aflatoxin b1-aldehyde reductase, afb1-ar (26 Jun 1999) |
| aldehyde | <chemistry> A carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen, single-bonded to a hydrogen, and single-bonded to another chemical group (such as methane, benzene, another hydrogen, anything). The carbon oxygen double bond part is known as a carbonyl group (C=O). An example is acetaldehyde, which is a carbonyl group single-bonded to a hydrogen and single-bonded to a methane (a methyl group: CH3). (09 Oct 1997) |
| aldehyde base | An obsolete term for an imide. (05 Mar 2000) |

| aldehyde dehydrogenase | <enzyme> An enzyme that oxidises an aldehyde in the presence of NAD+ and water to an acid and NADH. Before 1978, it was classified as EC 1.1.1.70. Chemical name: Aldehyde:NAD+ oxidoreductase Registry number: EC 1.2.1.3 (12 Dec 1998) |
| aldehyde dehydrogenase (acylating) | An oxidoreductase converting an aldehyde and CoA to acyl-CoA with NAD+ as H acceptor. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aldehyde dehydrogenase (NAD+) | An oxidoreductase reversibly converting aldehydes to acids with NADP+ as H acceptor. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aldehyde dehydrogenase (NAD(P)+) | An oxidoreductase reversibly converting aldehydes to acids with NAD+ or NADP+ as H acceptor. (05 Mar 2000) |
