| nucleic acids, nucleotides, and nucleosides | Complex compounds of high molecular weight occurring in living cells. These are basically of two types, ribonucleic (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic (DNA) acids, both of which consist of nucleotides (nucleoside phosphates linked together by phosphate bridges). (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| sulfenic acids | Oxy acids of sulfur with the general formula rsoh, where r is an alkyl or aryl group such as ch3. They are often encountered as esters and halides. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sulfinic acids | Any of the monobasic inorganic or organic acids of sulfur with the general formula rso(oh). (12 Dec 1998) |
| sulfonic acids | Inorganic or organic oxy acids of sulfur which contain the rso2(oh) radical. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sulfur acids | Inorganic or organic acids that contain sulfur as an integral part of the molecule. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sulfuric acids | Inorganic and organic derivatives of sulfuric acid (h2so4). The salts and esters of sulfuric acid are known as sulfates and sulfuric acid esters respectively. (12 Dec 1998) |
| decanoic acids | 10-carbon saturated monocarboxylic acids. (12 Dec 1998) |
| docosahexaenoic acids | C22-unsaturated fatty acids found predominantly in fish oils. (12 Dec 1998) |
| imino acids | Compounds with molecules containing both an acid group (usually the carboxyl, -COOH) and an imino group (==NH); e.g., proline, hydroxyproline. (05 Mar 2000) |
| indoleacetic acids | Acetic acid derivatives of the heterocyclic compound indole. (merck index, 11th ed) (12 Dec 1998) |
| indolic acids | Metabolites of l-tryptophan formed within the body or by intestinal microorganisms; the principal indolic acids encountered in urine are indoleacetic acid, indoleacetylglutamine, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid, and indolelactic acid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| isonicotinic acids | Heterocyclic acids that are derivatives of 4-pyridinecarboxylic acid (isonicotinic acid). (12 Dec 1998) |
| oleic acids | A group of fatty acids that contain 16 carbon atoms and 9 double bonds at the omega 9 carbon. (12 Dec 1998) |
| teichoic acids | Bacterial polysaccharides that are rich in phosphodiester linkages. They are the major components of the cell walls and membranes of many bacteria. (12 Dec 1998) |
| thiosulfonic acids | Inorganic or organic oxy acids of sulfur which contain the general formula rs2o2h. (12 Dec 1998) |
