| nucleoside-phosphate kinase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses reversible reactions of a nucleoside triphosphate, e.g., ATP, with a nucleoside monophosphate, e.g., ump, to form ADP and udp. Many nucleoside monophosphates can act as acceptor while many ribo- and deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates can act as donor. Chemical name: ATP:nucleoside-phosphate phosphotransferase Registry number: EC 2.7.4.4 (12 Dec 1998) |

| d-amphetamine phosphate | Monobasic d-alpha-methylphenethylamine phosphate;same actions and uses as dextroamphetamine sulfate. Synonym: d-amphetamine phosphate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deficiency, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase | Deficiency of G6PD is the commonest disease-causing enzyme defect in humans affecting an estimated 400 million people. The G6PD gene is on the X chromosome. Males with the enzyme deficiency develop anaemia due to breakup of their red blood cells when they are exposed to oxidant drugs such as the antimalarial primaquine, the sulfonamide antibiotics or sulfones, naphthalene moth balls, or fava beans. (12 Dec 1998) |
| deoxynucleoside-phosphate kinase | <enzyme> Deoxynucleotide kinase was en to nucleoside monophosphate kinases 1982-93; deoxynucleoside monophosphate kinase was en to nucleoside monophosphate kinases 1983-93 Registry number: EC 2.7.4.13 Synonym: deoxynucleotide kinase, deoxynucleoside monophosphate kinase, deoxynucleoside-monophosphate kinase, deoxyribonucleoside 5'-monophosphate kinase, 5-dnmp kinase, deoxyribonucleoside monophosphokinase (26 Jun 1999) |

| deoxyxylulose-5-phosphate synthase | <enzyme> Catalyses thiamin diphosphate-dependent acyloin condensation between pyruvate and glyceraldehyde Registry number: EC 2.2.1.- Synonym: dxp synthase (26 Jun 1999) |
| D-erythritol 1-phosphate dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Chemical name: d-erythro-tetritol 1-phosphate nad(+) 2-oxidoreductase Registry number: EC 1.1.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |

| dibasic potassium phosphate | K2HPO4;a mild saline cathartic and diuretic. Synonym: dibasic potassium phosphate, dipotassium phosphate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dibasic sodium phosphate | Na2HPO4-H2O;a laxative. Synonym: dibasic sodium phosphate, sodium orthophosphate. Sodium phosphate P 32, anionic radioactive phosphorus in the form of a solution of sodium acid phosphate and sodium basic phosphate; a beta emitter with a half-life of 14.3 days; after administration, highest concentrations are found in rapidly proliferating tissues; it is used in the treatment of polycythemia vera, chronic myelogenous leukaemia, and osseous metastases.
