| formula feeding | The ability of the breast to produce milk diminishes soon after childbirth without the stimulation of breastfeeding. Immunity factors in breast milk can help the baby to fight off infections. Breast milk contains vitamins, minerals, and enzymes which aid the baby's digestion. Breast and formula feeding can be used together. (12 Dec 1998) |

| formularies | Lists of drugs or collections of recipes, formulas, and prescriptions for the compounding of medicinal preparations. Formularies differ from pharmacopoeias in that they are less complete, lacking full descriptions of the drugs, their formulations, analytic composition, chemical properties, etc. In hospitals, formularies list all drugs commonly stocked in the hospital pharmacy. (12 Dec 1998) |
| formularies, hospital | Formularies concerned with pharmaceuticals prescribed in hospitals. (12 Dec 1998) |
| formulary | A collection of formulas for the compounding of medicinal preparations. See: National Formulary, Pharmacopeia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| formulation | <pharmacology> The mixture or prescribed recipe for packaging a protein pharmaceutical, the process of developing such a formulation. (06 Mar 1998) |
| formycin B | <drug> A drug used to get rid of intestinal parasites, it works by inhibiting the worm's ability to conduct nucleic acid synthesis. (06 Mar 1998) |
| formycins | <chemical> Pyrazolopyrimidine ribonucleosides isolated from nocardia interforma. They are antineoplastic antibiotics with cytostatic properties. Pharmacological action: antibiotics, antineoplastic. (12 Dec 1998) |
| formyl | <chemistry> A univalent radical, H.C:O, regarded as the essential residue of formic acid and aldehyde. Formerly, the radical methyl, CH3. Origin: Formic + -yl. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| formyl peptide | <biochemistry> Informal term for small peptides with a formylated N terminal methionine and usually a hydrophobic amino acid at the carboxy terminal end (fMetLeuPhe is the most commonly used). These peptides stimulate the motor and secretory activities of leucocytes, particularly neutrophils and monocytes, that have a specific receptor (about 60 kD) of high affinity (Kd approximately 10exp 8M). Leucocytes show chemotaxis towards formyl peptides but the term chemotactic peptides understates the range of activities the molecules will trigger. Thought to be synthetic analogues of bacterial signal sequences though this is unproven. The leucocytes of many animals (e.g. Pig, cow, chicken) do not respond. (18 Nov 1997) |
| formyl sterol oxidase | <enzyme> Converts sterol 4-aldehyde to a carboxylic acid in presence of NADH or NADPH Registry number: EC 1.2.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |

| formyl-methenyl-methylenetetrahydrofolate synthetase | <chemical> Trifunctional enzyme which contains EC 6.3.4.3, formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase, plus EC 3.5.4.9, methenyltetrahydrofolate cyclohydrolase, and EC 1.5.1.5, methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase as a complex in sheep liver Chemical name: synthetase, formyl-methenyl-methylenetetrahydrofolate Synonym: c1-thf synthase, c1-tetrahydrofolate synthase, formyl-methenyl-methylenetetrahydrofolate synthetase (combined), c-1-tetrahydrofolate synthetase, nadp-dependent methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase-cyclohydrolase-synthetase (26 Jun 1999) |
| formylase | <enzyme> Isolated from methylophilus methylotrophus; genbank x99632 Registry number: EC 3.5.1.49 Synonym: fmda gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| formylglutamate amidohydrolase | <enzyme> From pseudomonas putida; degrades formylglutamate to glutamate and formate Registry number: EC 3.5.1.- Synonym: n-formyl-l-glutamate amidohydrolase (26 Jun 1999) |
