| aldehyde oxidase | <enzyme> Broad substrate specificity Registry number: EC 1.2.3.1 Synonym: n1-methylnicotinamide oxidase I, n-nitrosoreductase (26 Jun 1999) |
|---|---|
| aldehyde oxidoreductases | <enzyme> Registry number: EC 1.2. (12 Dec 1998) |
| aldehyde reaction | The reaction of the indole derivatives with aromatic aldehydes; e.g., tryptophan and p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde in H2SO4 give a red-violet colour useful in assaying proteins for tryptophan content. Synonym: Ehrlich reaction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
| aldehyde TPN transhydrogenase | <enzyme> An enzyme that oxidises an aldehyde in the presence of NAD+ and water to an acid and NADH. Before 1978, it was classified as EC 1.1.1.70. Chemical name: Aldehyde:NAD+ oxidoreductase Registry number: EC 1.2.1.3 (12 Dec 1998) |
| aldehyde transhydrogenase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses reversibly the final step of alcoholic fermentation by reducing an aldehyde to an alcohol. In the case of ethanol, acetaldehyde is reduced to ethanol in the presence of NADH and hydrogen. The enzyme is a zinc protein which acts on primary and secondary alcohols or hemiacetals. Chemical name: Alcohol:NAD+ oxidoreductase Registry number: EC 1.1.1.1 (12 Dec 1998) |
| amino sugar | <biochemistry> Monosaccharide in which an OH group is replaced with an amino group, often acetylated. Common examples are D galactosamine, D glucosamine, neuraminic acid, muramic acid. Amino sugars are important constituents of bacterial cell walls, some antibiotics, blood group substances, milk oligosaccharides and chitin. (18 Nov 1997) |
| angular aldehyde | The aldehyde group attached to carbon 13 (between rings C and D) of the steroid nucleus in aldosterone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| beechwood sugar | D-xylose. See: xylose. (05 Mar 2000) |
| beet sugar | D-sucrose. See: sucrose. (05 Mar 2000) |
| benzoic aldehyde | C6H5CHO;an aldehyde produced artificially or obtained from oil of bitter almond, containing not less than 80% of benzaldehyde; a flavoring agent used in orally administered medicines. Synonym: benzoic aldehyde. (05 Mar 2000) |
| benzylviologen-linked aldehyde oxidoreductase | <enzyme> A coenzyme a-independent tungsten-containing aldehyde oxidoreductase; from desulfovibrio gigas; n-terminal amino acid sequence given in first source Registry number: EC 1.2.7.- Synonym: bv-aldh (26 Jun 1999) |
| betaine-aldehyde dehydrogenase | An oxidizing enzyme that catalyses the oxidation of betaine aldehyde with NAD+ and water to betaine and NADH; part of the choline oxidase system and of choline metabolism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| blood sugar, high | Elevated levels of blood glucose (hyperglycaemia) can be found in a number of conditions. The hyperglycaemia leads to spillage of glucose into the urine, hence the term sweet urine. (Diabetes mellitus means sweet urine. ) (12 Dec 1998) |
| blood sugar, low | The sugar here is glucose. Low blood glucose constitutes hypoglycaemia. Hypoglycaemia is only significant when it is associated with symptoms. It has many causes including drugs, liver disease, surgical absence of the stomach, pre-diabetes, and rare tumours that release excess insulin. (12 Dec 1998) |
