| ice cream | A frozen dairy food made from cream or butterfat, milk, sugar, and flavorings. Frozen custard and french-type ice creams also contain eggs. (12 Dec 1998) |
| leukocyte cream | <haematology> Thin yellow white layer of leucocytes on top of the mass of red cells when whole blood is centrifuged. (18 Nov 1997) |
| lubricating cream | A form of cold cream used as a massage cream or night cream; it contains lanolin or its derivatives. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acetate | <biochemistry> A salt or ester of acetic acid, specifically, a synthetic textile fibre made from partially hydrolysed cellulose acetate, or a plastic-like film made from cellulose triacetate. The terminal hydrogen atom in the molecule is replaced by a metal, for instance copper acetate, or where substitution is by a radical, for instance ethyl acetate. (04 Jul 1999) |
| acetate-CoA ligase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the formation of CoA derivatives from ATP, acetate, and CoA to form AMP, pyrophosphate, and acetyl CoA. It acts also on propionates and acrylates. Chemical name: Acetate:CoA ligase (AMP-forming) Registry number: EC 6.2.1.1 (12 Dec 1998) |
| acetate kinase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses reversibly the phosphorylation of acetate in the presence of a divalent cation and ATP with the formation of acetylphosphate and ADP. It is important in the glycolysis process. Chemical name: ATP:acetate phosphotransferase Registry number: EC 2.7.2.1 (12 Dec 1998) |
| acetate replacement factor | <biochemistry> 1,2 dithiolane 3 valeric acid. Regarded as a coenzyme in the oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex of the citric acid cycle. Involved generally in oxidative decarboxylations of _ keto acids. A growth factor for some organisms. (18 Nov 1997) |
| acetate-succinate CoA-transferase | <enzyme> Tritichomonas and trichomonas enzyme converts acetyl-CoA and succinate to acetate and succinyl-CoA Registry number: EC 2.8.3.- Synonym: acetate-succinate coenzyme a-transferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| acetate thiokinase | A ligase that catalyses the reaction of acetate and CoA and ATP to form AMP, pyrophosphate, and acetyl-CoA. A key step in the activation of acetate. Synonym: acetate thiokinase, acetate-CoA ligase, acetyl-activating enzyme, acetyl-CoA synthetase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| active acetate | <enzyme> Condensation product of coenzyme A and acetic acid, symbolised as CoAS~COCH3; intermediate in transfer of two-carbon fragment, notably in its entrance into the tricarboxylic acid cycle and in fatty acid synthesis. This coenzyme plays a huge role in intermediary metabolism, in which cells synthesise, break down or use nutrient molecules for energy production, growth, etc. Acetyl-coenzyme A synthase is found in bacteria and plants and catalyses the reaction in which acetate enters metabolic pathways and forms acetyl-coenzyme A. Synonym: acetyl-coenzyme A, active acetate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aluminum acetate | Used as a disinfectant by embalmers; proposed as desiccant and deodorant powder for eczema and chronic skin ulcers. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anagestone acetate | 17-Hydroxy-6alpha-methylpregn-4-en-20-one acetate;a progestational agent. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bisoxatin acetate | 2,2-Bis(p-hydroxyphenyl)-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one diacetate;a laxative. (05 Mar 2000) |
| versiconal hemiacetal acetate esterase | <enzyme> Converts versiconal hemiacetal acetate to versiconal; the first step in biosynthesis of versicolorin b and versicolorin a Registry number: EC 3.1.1.- Synonym: vha esterase (26 Jun 1999) |
