| succinic acids | A class of dicarboxylic acids with the general structure of butanedioic acid (succinic acid). They are used in perfumery and as a chemical intermediate in medicine. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| succinic anhydrides | A subclass of anhydrides with the general structure of dihydrofurandione. They can be substituted on any carbon atom. They modify and inhibit proteins and enzymes and are used in the acylation of amino- and hydroxyl groups. (12 Dec 1998) |
| succinic thiokinase | A ligase reversibly reacting succinate and CoA with ATP to produce ADP, inorganic phosphate, and succinyl-CoA, a similar synthetase, but one able to use itaconate as well as succinate and GTP (or ITP) in place of ATP; a part of the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Synonym: succinic thiokinase, succinyl-CoA ligase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| succinimide | <chemistry> A white crystalline nitrogenous substance, C2H4.(CO)2.NH, obtained by treating succinic anhydride with ammonia gas. It is a typical imido acid, and forms a series of salts. See Imido acid, under Imido. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| succinimides | A subclass of imides with the general structure of pyrrolidinedione. They are prepared by the distillation of ammonium succinate. They are sweet-tasting compounds that are used as chemical intermediates and plant growth stimulants. (12 Dec 1998) |
| succinite | <chemical> Amber. A garnet of an amber colour. Origin: Cf. F. Succinite. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| succinurate | <chemistry> A salt of succinuric acid. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| succinuric | <chemistry> Pertaining to, or designating, an acid amide, analogous to succinamic acid, which is obtained as a white crystalline substance by heating urea with succinic anhydride. It is known also in its salts. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| succinyl | <chemistry> A hypothetical radical characteristic of succinic acid and certain of its derivatives. Origin: Succinic + -yl. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| succinyl CoA | An intermediate product in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. (18 Nov 1997) |
| succinyl CoA propionate CoA-transferase | <enzyme> Succinyl CoA and propionate gives propionyl CoA and succinate Registry number: EC 2.8.3.- Synonym: succinyl coenzyme a propionate coenzyme a-transferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| succinyl-CoA | The condensation product of succinic acid and CoA; one of the intermediates of the tricarboxylic acid cycle and a precursor in the synthesis of haem. Synonym: active succinate, succinyl-CoA. (05 Mar 2000) |
| succinyl-CoA hydrolase | <enzyme> Enzyme from trichosporon cutaneum; acts on succinyl-CoA and methylsuccinyl CoA to give free acids Registry number: EC 3.1.2.3 Synonym: methylsuccinyl-CoA hydrolase, succinyl-coenzyme a hydrolase (26 Jun 1999) |
| succinyl-CoA ligase | A ligase reversibly reacting succinate and CoA with ATP to produce ADP, inorganic phosphate, and succinyl-CoA, a similar synthetase, but one able to use itaconate as well as succinate and GTP (or ITP) in place of ATP; a part of the tricarboxylic acid cycle.
