|---|---|
| sulfur oxygenase reductase | <enzyme> From desulfurolobus ambivalens; in the presence of oxygen but not under a hydrogen atmosphere simultaneously produces sulfite, thiosulfate, and hydrogen sulfide from sulfur; inhibited by sulfhydryl reagents, fad, ferrous and ferric ions Registry number: EC 1.8.- Synonym: sor gene product (sulfur oxygenase reductase) (26 Jun 1999) |
| sulfur radioisotopes | Unstable isotopes of sulfur that decay or disintegrate spontaneously emitting radiation. S 29-31, 35, 37, and 38 are radioactive sulfur isotopes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sulfur-reducing bacteria | A group of gram-negative, anaerobic bacteria that is able to oxidise acetate completely to carbon dioxide using elemental sulfur as the electron acceptor. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sulfur trioxide | SO3;forms sulfuric acid, H2SO4, by its reaction with water. Synonym: sulfuric oxide. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulfur water | A water containing hydrogen sulfide or the metallic sulfides. (05 Mar 2000) |
| iron-sulfur proteins | A group of proteins possessing only the iron-sulfur complex as the prosthetic group. These proteins participate in all major pathways of electron transport: photosynthesis, respiration, hydroxylation and bacterial hydrogen and nitrogen fixation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| technetium tc 99m sulfur colloid | <chemical> A gamma-emitting radionuclide imaging agent used for the diagnosis of diseases in many tissues, particularly in the gastrointestinal system, liver, and spleen. Pharmacological action: radiopharmaceuticals. (12 Dec 1998) |
| flowers of sulfur | Used in preparing sulfur ointment and in the treatment of various skin disorders. Synonym: flowers of sulfur. (05 Mar 2000) |
| liver of sulfur | A mixture composed chiefly of potassium polysulfides and potassium thiosulfate; used externally in scabies, acne, and psoriasis; used in the manufacture of "white lotion". Synonym: liver of sulfur. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Rambourg's chromic acid-phosphotungstic acid stain | <technique> A stain for glycoproteins, used with an electron microscope, with which ultrathin tissue sections reveal complex carbohydrates in the same locations as shown by Rambourg's periodic acid-chromic methenamine-silver stain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| a1-acid glycoprotein | <biology> Plasma protein of mammals and birds, 38% carbohydrate. In humans a single chain glycoprotein of 39 kD. Increased levels are associated with inflammation, pregnancy and various diseases. (18 Nov 1997) |
| abscisic acid | <biochemistry> A lipid hormone that inhibits cell growth in plants, it is associated with fruit drop, leaf death and seed dormancy. It is synthesised in the plastids from carotenoids. This hormone helps plants deal with water loss, and its effects can be reversed with gibberellins. (06 May 1997) |
| abscisic acid 8'-hydroxylase | <enzyme> Catalyses conversion of abscisic acid to 8'-hydroxyabscisic acid, which rearranges to phaseic acid Registry number: EC 1.14.99.- Synonym: aba 8'-hydroxylase (26 Jun 1999) |
| acetic acid | <chemical> The acid most commonly associated with vinegar, it is the most commercially important organic acid and is used to manufacture a wide range of chemical products, such as plastics and Acetobacter but, except for making vinegar, is usually made through synthetic processes. Derivatives of acetic acid which may be formed by substitution reactions. Mono- and di-substituted, as well as, halogenated compounds have been synthesised. Experimentally, alpha- and n2- substituted acetic acids have been examined for their anti-inflammatory activity and effect on the central nervous system respectively. Additionally, limited exposure data has been collected on dibromo and dichloroacetic acids to determine whether they pose health effects. Synonym: ethanoic acid. (26 Jun 1999) |
