| GADH | gastric alcohol dehydrogenase |
| YADH | yeast alcohol dehydrogenase |
| NADP phosphatase | <enzyme> Forms nad+ by hydrolysis of 3'-phosphate Registry number: EC 3.1.3.- Synonym: nadp+ phosphatase (26 Jun 1999) |
|---|---|
| NADP-reducing hydrogenase | <enzyme> Operon from desulfovibrio contains 4 genes: hnda, hndb, hndc and hndd; does not reduce nad; genbank u07229 Registry number: EC 1.12.1.- Synonym: hnd gene product, hndabcd gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| NADP transhydrogenase | <enzyme> An enzyme present in the mitochondrial membrane of animals and in microorganisms. In the presence of energy (ATP) it catalyses reversibly the reduction of NAD by NADPH to yield NADP and NADH. This reaction permits the utilization of the reducing properties of NADPH by the respiratory chain and in the reverse direction it allows the reduction of NADP for biosynthetic purposes. Chemical name: NADPH:NAD+ oxidoreductase (B-specific) Registry number: EC 1.6.1.1 (12 Dec 1998) |
| ferredoxin-NADP reductase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the oxidation and reduction of ferredoxin or adrenodoxin in the presence of NADP. Chemical name: Ferredoxin:NADP+ oxidoreductase Registry number: EC 1.18.1.2 (12 Dec 1998) |
| formate-NADP oxidoreductase | <enzyme> Separate from formate dehydrogenase Registry number: EC 1.6.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| absolute alcohol | Water having been removed. Synonym: anhydrous alcohol. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alcohol | <chemical> An organic chemical containing one or more hydroxyl groups. Alcohols can be liquids, semisolids or solids at room temperature. Common alcohols include ethanol (the type found in alcoholic beverages) methanol (found in methylated spirit and can cause blindness and other nervous system damage if ingested) and propanol. (06 May 1997) |
| alcohol acid | A group of compounds that contain both the carboxyl and hydroxy radicals; e.g., glycolic acid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alcohol addiction | <disease> A disorder characterised by pathological pattern of alcohol use that causes a serious impairment in social or occupational functioning. In DSN III R this is termed alcohol abuse or, if tolerance or withdrawal is present, alcohol dependence. (18 Nov 1997) |
| alcohol amnestic disorder | <psychiatry> A mental disorder with brain damage characterised by amnesia, compensatory confabulation, disturbance of attention, and peripheral neuritis. It is usually associated with alcoholism and dietary deficiencies. (12 Dec 1998) |
| alcohol amnestic syndrome | <syndrome> An amnestic syndrome resulting from alcoholism; alcoholic "blackouts." Cf.: Korsakoff's syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alcohol deterrents | Substances interfering with the metabolism of ethyl alcohol, causing unpleasant side effects thought to discourage the drinking of alcoholic beverages. Alcohol deterrents are used in the treatment of alcoholism. (12 Dec 1998) |
| alcohol diuresis | Diuresis following the ingestion of alcoholic beverages; due, in part, to inhibition of the output of antidiuretic hormone by the neurohypophysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alcohol drinking | Behaviours associated with the ingesting of alcoholic beverages, including social drinking. (12 Dec 1998) |
| alcohol - NDMA oxidoreductase | <enzyme> Nicotinoprotein from amycolatopsis methanolica; does not react with exogenous NADP(h) Registry number: EC 1.1.99.- Synonym: 4-nitroso-n,n-dimethylaniline alcohol oxidoreductase, ndma-adh (26 Jun 1999) |
