| chair form | The more stable of two conformations assumed by 6-membered cyclic sugars (e.g., the pyranoses) or cyclohexane derivatives, as opposed to boat form. See: Haworth conformational formulas of cyclic sugars. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| 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) |
| phosphorylase a | <enzyme> The phosphorylated and more active form of phosphorylase that functions as a regulatory enzyme during glycogen breakdown. The phosphate groups are hydrolytically removed by phosphorylase phosphatase to form phosphorylase b and orthophosphate. Registry number: EC 2.4.1.- (12 Dec 1998) |
| phosphorylase b | <enzyme> The relatively inactive form of phosphorylase that is reactivated to form phosphorylase a by phosphorylase kinase, which catalyses the enzymatic phosphorylation of the serine residues at the expense of ATP. Registry number: EC 2.4.1.- (12 Dec 1998) |
| phosphorylase kinase | <enzyme> The enzyme that regulates the activity of phosphorylase and glycogen synthetase by addition of phosphate groups. A large and complex enzyme, itself regulated by phosphorylation. Integrates the hormonal and calcium signals in muscle. (18 Nov 1997) |
| phosphorylase kinase phosphatase | <enzyme> Aspect of phosphoprotein phosphatase EC 3.1.3.16 Registry number: EC 3.1.3.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| phosphorylase phosphatase | <enzyme> An enzyme that deactivates glycogen phosphorylase a by releasing inorganic phosphate and phosphorylase b, the inactive form. Chemical name: (Phosphorylase a) phosphohydrolase Registry number: EC 3.1.3.17 (12 Dec 1998) |
| phosphorylase-rupturing enzyme | <enzyme> An enzyme that deactivates glycogen phosphorylase a by releasing inorganic phosphate and phosphorylase b, the inactive form. Chemical name: (Phosphorylase a) phosphohydrolase Registry number: EC 3.1.3.17 (12 Dec 1998) |
| wave form | The form of a pulse; e.g., an arterial pressure or displacement wave; or of the pacemaker pulse as demonstrated on the oscilloscope under a specified load. Synonym: waveshape. (05 Mar 2000) |
| wax form | A pattern of wax that, when invested and burned out or otherwise eliminated, will produce a mold in which a casting may be made. Synonym: wax form. (05 Mar 2000) |
| muscle phosphorylase deficiency | Type V glycogen storage disease, affecting muscle, caused by deficiency of muscle phosphorylase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| convenience form | The changes needed outside the basic outline form to enable proper instrumentation for the cavity preparation and insertion of a dental restoration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| polynucleotide phosphorylase | <enzyme> An enzyme of the transferase class that catalyses the reaction RNA(n+1) and orthophosphate to yield RNA(n) and a nucleoside diphosphate, or the reverse reaction. ADP, idp, GDP, udp, and cdp can act as donors in the latter case. Chemical name: Polyribonucleotide:orthophosphate nucleotidyltransferase Registry number: EC 2.7.7.8 (12 Dec 1998) |
| myocardial infarction in dumbbell form | Infarction involving the septum along with both inferior and anterior walls to make an H-or dumbbell-shaped configuration. Synonym: Roesler-Bressler infarct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior tooth form | The distinguishing contours of the occlusal surface of the various posterior teeth. (05 Mar 2000) |
