| glycogen synthase | <enzyme> An enzyme of the transferase class that catalyses the reaction of udpglucose and (1,4-alpha-d-glucosyl)n to yield udp and 1,4-alpha-d-glucosyl)n+1. The reaction is highly regulated by allosteric effectors, by phosphorylation reactions, and by insulin. Chemical name: UDPglucose:glycogen 4-alpha-D-glucosyltransferase Registry number: EC 2.4.1.11 (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| glycogen synthase-d phosphatase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the conversion of phosphorylated, inactive glycogen synthase d to active dephosphoglycogen synthase I. Chemical name: (UDPglucose:glycogen 4-alpha-D-glucosyltransferase-D) phosphohydrolase Registry number: EC 3.1.3.42 (12 Dec 1998) |
| glycogen synthetase | <enzyme> An enzyme which makes amylose out of glucose molecules (a type of sugar) and attaches them to glycogen (a type of polysaccharide). (09 Oct 1997) |
| UDPglucose-glycogen glucose 1-phosphotransferase | <enzyme> Catalyses the transfer of glucose 1-phosphate onto c-6 of glucose residues in glycogen to form a phosphodiester Registry number: EC 2.7.8.- Synonym: ugg-glcptase (26 Jun 1999) |
| a-form DNA | <molecular biology> One of several forms that can be assumed by a double helix. A-DNA is stable in dehydrated conditions. This form is less common than the dominant form found under physiological conditions -- beta-DNA. This form is also assumed by DNA-RNA hybrid helices and by regions of double-stranded RNA. It is a right-handed helix and is a more compact form than beta-DNA. (09 Oct 1997) |
| alpha,alpha-trehalose phosphorylase | <enzyme> Chemical name: alpha-d-glucopyranosyl-alpha-d-glucopyranose orthophosphate glucosyltransferase Registry number: EC 2.4.1.64 Synonym: trehalose phosphorylase (26 Jun 1999) |
| alpha-glucan phosphorylase | <enzyme> Enzyme that catalyses the sequential removal of glycosyl residues from glycogen to yield one glucose-1-phosphate per reaction. Its activity is controlled by phosphorylation (by phosphorylase kinase). (21 Jun 2000) |
| boat form | The less stable of two conformations assumed by 6-membered cyclic sugars (pyranoses) or cyclohexane derivatives, as opposed to chair form. See: Haworth conformational formulas of cyclic sugars. (05 Mar 2000) |
| maltodextrin phosphorylase | <enzyme> From E coli Registry number: EC 2.4.1.- Synonym: e350a (26 Jun 1999) |
| GDPmannose phosphorylase | <enzyme> A transferase that catalyses the transfer of GDP to the mannose of mannose-1-phosphate. Consider also the bifunctional enzyme, phosphomannose isomerase-guanosine diphospho-d-mannose pyrophosphorylase; rfbm has similarity to long-chain, iron-containing alcohol dehydrogenases Registry number: EC 2.7.7.13 Synonym: GDPmannose phosphorylase, GDP mannose pyrophosphorylase, GTP-alpha-d-mannose-1-phosphate guanylyltransferase, GDP-mannose pyrophosphorylase, rfbm gene product, rfbm protein (26 Jun 1999) |
| cavity preparation form | The configuration or shape of a cavity preparation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cellodextrin phosphorylase | <enzyme> Reverse reaction is used to synthesise cellodextrins Registry number: EC 2.4.1.49 (26 Jun 1999) |
| replicative form | An intermediate stage in the replication of either DNA or RNA viral genomes that is usually double stranded, the altered, double-stranded form to which single-stranded coliphage DNA is converted after infection of a susceptible bacterium, formation of the complementary ("minus") strand being mediated by enzymes that were present in the bacterium before entrance of the viral ("plus") strand. (05 Mar 2000) |
| resistance form | The shape given to a cavity preparation that enables the dental restoration to withstand masticatory forces. (05 Mar 2000) |
| retention form | The shape of a cavity preparation that prevents displacement of the dental restoration by lateral or tipping forces as well as masticatory forces. (05 Mar 2000) |
