| molybdenum-iron protein aldehyde oxidoreductase | <enzyme> Related to xanthine oxidase; isolated from desulfovibrio gigas Registry number: EC 1.2.7.- Synonym: mop protein (26 Jun 1999) |
| salicylic aldehyde | salicyl aldehyde |
| pyruvic aldehyde | CH3-CO-CHO; Pyruvaldehyde;the aldehyde of pyruvic acid; an intermediate of carbohydrate metabolism in certain organisms. Synonym: pyruvic aldehyde. Methylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone), 1,1'-[(methylethanediylidene)dinitrilo]diguanidine;an antineoplastic agent. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sugar aldehyde | A sugar that contains an internal acetal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ketone-aldehyde mutase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the interconversion of methylglyoxal and lactate, with glutathione serving as a coenzyme. Chemical name: S-Lactoyl-glutathione methylglyoxal-lyase (isomerizing) Registry number: EC 4.4.1.5 (12 Dec 1998) |
| formic aldehyde | <chemical> Commonly used fixative and antibacterial agent. As a fixative it is cheap and tends to cause less denaturation of proteins than does glutaraldehyde, particularly if used in a well buffered solution (buffered formalin, formal saline). Old formaldehyde solutions usually contain cross linking contaminants and it is therefore often preferable to used a formaldehyde generating agent such as paraformaldehyde. Formalin fumes, particularly in conjunction with hydrochloric acid vapour, are potently carcinogenic. (20 Jun 2000) |
| ABO blood group | <haematology> The major human blood type system which describes the oligosaccharide glycoprotein antigens found on the surface of human blood cells. According to the type of antigen present, a person may be assigned a blood type of A, B, AB or O. A second type of antigen, the Rh factor, renders a positive or negative blood type. The ABO blood group system is important because it determines who can donate blood to or accept blood from whom. Type A or AB blood will cause an immune reaction in people with type B blood and type B and AB blood will cause a reaction in people with type A blood. Conversely, type O blood has no A or B antigens, so people with type O blood are universal donors. And since AB blood already produces both antigens, people who are type AB can accept any of the other blood types without suffering an immune reaction. (04 Jul 1999) |
| actinobacteria group | A group of gram-positive, heterogeneous bacteria. This group encompasses a range of morphologically, physiologically, and chemically different organisms and includes bacteria that form cocci, short rods, irregular rods, and mycelia that fragment. (12 Dec 1998) |
| alkyl group | <chemistry> A funtional group on an organic molecule which is derived from an alkane which has lost a hydrogen atom. (13 Nov 1997) |
| aluminum group | Aluminum, boron, gallium, indium, and thallium. (05 Mar 2000) |

| anterior group of axillary lymph nodes | Lymph nodes located along the lateral thoracic vein; they receive the drainage of the pectoral region, including most of the drainage of the breast. Synonym: nodi lymphatici axillaris pectorales, anterior group of axillary lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apical group of axillary lymph nodes | The group of lymph node's located at the apex of the axillary fossa that receive lymphatic drainage from other groups of axillary node's and then drain in turn into the subclavian lymphatic trunk. Synonym: nodi lymphatici axillares apicales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bethesda-Ballerup Group | A group of citrate-utilizing, slow lactose-fermenting bacteria (family Enterobacteriaceae) which share a similar series of antigens with the lactose-fermenting citrobacters; these organisms are now included in the genus Citrobacter without a distinction between prompt and slow lactose fermentation.
