| 영문 | nucleic acid | 한글 | 핵산 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 염기, 당, 인산으로 이루어진 뉴클레오티드가 긴 사슬 모양으로 중합된 고분자 물질. 유전이나 단백질 합성을 지배하는 중요한 물질로, 생물의 증식을 비롯한 생명 활동 유지에 중요한 작용을 한다. 구성 당인 오탄당이 리보오스인 리보핵산과 디옥시리보오스인 디옥시리보 핵산으로 나뉜다. 펜토스로서 리보스나 데옥시리보스 어느 한쪽만을 포함하며 전자를 리보핵산(RNA), 후자를 데옥시리보핵산(deoxyribonucleic acid, DNA)이라 부른다. 모두 4종류의 유기염기에 의해 특징지어지며 아데닌, 구아닌 및 시토신은 양자에 공통이다. 티민은 DNA에, 우라실은 RNA에 포함된다. DNA는 주로 핵에 존재하며 형질유전에 그리고 RNA는 세포질속에서 단백질 합성에 관여한다. 섭취된 핵산은 소화관에서 구성분자로까지 가수분해되어 흡수된다. |

|---|---|
| aflatoxin B1 reductase | <enzyme> Reduces the cyclopentenone ring of aflatoxin b1 to aflatoxicol; requires NADPH as cofactor Registry number: EC 1.1.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| aflatoxin G2a reductase | <enzyme> Has broad substrate specificity in cell-free extracts from aspergillus parasiticus; versicolorin a hemiacetal is reduced to versicolorin c; 17-hydroxy-16,17-dihydrosterigmatocystin is reduced to a 14,17-hydrated derivative; aflatoxin g2a is converted to a 13,16-hydrated derivative of afg2 Registry number: EC 1.1.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| aldehyde reductase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses reversibly the oxidation of an aldose to an alditol. It possesses broad specificity for many aldoses. Chemical name: Alditol:NAD(P)+ 1-oxidoreductase Registry number: EC 1.1.1.21 (12 Dec 1998) |
| aldose reductase | A polyol dehydrogenase (NADP+);an oxidoreductase that reversibly converts aldoses to alditols (e.g., glucose to sorbitol) with NADPH as hydrogen donor. An important step in the metabolism of sorbitol and in the formation of diabetic cataracts. See: d-sorbitol-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aldose reductase inhibitor | <pharmacology> A class of drugs being studied as a way to prevent eye and nerve damage in people with diabetes. Aldose reductase is an enzyme that is normally present in the eye and in many other parts of the body. It helps change glucose (sugar) into a sugar alcohol called sorbitol. Too much sorbitol trapped in eye and nerve cells can damage these cells, leading to retinopathy and neuropathy. Drugs that prevent or slow (inhibit) the action of aldose reductase are being studied as a way to prevent or delay these complications of diabetes. (09 Oct 1997) |
