| cyclic photophosphorylation | Process by which light energy absorbed by photosystem I in the chloroplast can be used to generate ATP without concomitant reduction of NADP or other electron acceptors. Energised electrons are passed from PS I to ferredoxin and thence along a chain of electron carriers and back to the reaction centre of PS I, generating ATP en route. (18 Nov 1997) |

| cyclic strabismus | A strabismus that appears and disappears in rhythym, most frequently at 48-hour intervals. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cyclic uridine 3',5'-monophosphate | A cyclic nucleotide involved in metabolic regulation; inhibits the growth of some tumours. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hydrocarbons, cyclic | Organic compounds composed exclusively of carbon and hydrogen forming a closed ring that may be either alicyclic or aromatic. (12 Dec 1998) |
| nucleotide 3'-pyrophosphokinase-2',3'-cyclic monophosphokinase | <enzyme> Transfers 5'-beta,gamma-pyrophosphate from ATP and some ATP derivatives to nucleotides and nucleosides at the 3'-hydroxyl group; synthesises the respective 3'-pyrophosphoryl nucleotides Registry number: EC 2.7.6.- Synonym: ppkase (26 Jun 1999) |
| dibutyryl cyclic AMP | An analogue of cyclic AMP that shares some of the pharmacological effects of this nucleotide, but is generally believed to enter cells more readily on account of its greater hydrophobicity. (18 Nov 1997) |
| dibutyryl cyclic GMP | <chemical> N-(1-oxobutyl)-cyclic 3',5'-(hydrogen phosphate)-2'-butanoate guanosine. A derivative of cyclic GMP. It has a higher resistance to extracellular and intracellular phosphodiesterase than cyclic GMP. Chemical name: Guanosine, N-(1-oxobutyl)-, cyclic 3',5'-(hydrogen phosphate) 2'-butanoate (12 Dec 1998) |
| DNA-binding protein, cyclic AMP-responsive | A protein that has been shown to function as a calcium regulated transcription factor as well as a substrate for depolarisation-activated calcium calmodulin-dependent protein kinases I and II. This protein functions to integrate both calcium and camp signals. (12 Dec 1998) |
| inositol cyclic 1,2-phosphate 1-phosphodiesterase | <enzyme> Converts inositol 1:2-cyclic phosphate to inositol 2-phosphate; do not confuse with inositol 1,2 cyclic-phosphate 2-phosphohydrolase see annexin III Registry number: EC 3.1.4.- Synonym: cins(1,2)p hydrolase II (26 Jun 1999) |
| ethers, cyclic | Compounds of the general formula r-o-r arranged in a ring or crown formation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 2'-phosphodiesterase | <enzyme> Catalyses the hydrolysis of the 2'-phosphodiesterase bond to yield nucleoside 3'phosphate Registry number: EC 3.1.4.16 Synonym: 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 2'-phosphohydrolase (26 Jun 1999) |
| 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase | <enzyme> Catalyses the hydrolysis of the 3'-phosphoesterase bond to yield nucleoside 2'-phosphate Registry number: EC 3.1.4.37 Synonym: 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphohydrolase, 2',3'-cn phosphodiesterase, 2',3'-cnpase (26 Jun 1999) |
| 2',3'-cyclic-nucleotide phosphodiesterases | <enzyme> Nucleoside-2',3'-cyclic phosphate nucleotidohydrolase. Enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of the 2'- or 3'- phosphate bonds of 2',3'-cyclic nucleotides. Also hydrolyzes nucleoside monophosphates. Registry number: EC 3.1.4.- (12 Dec 1998) |
| 3',5'-cyclic AMP synthetase | <enzyme> Enzyme responsible for the ATP. (06 May 1997) |
| 3',5'-cyclic-GMP phosphodiesterase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of cyclic GMP to yield guanosine-5'-phosphate. Chemical name: 3',5'-Cyclic-GMP 5'-nucleotidohydrolase Registry number: EC 3.1.4.35 (12 Dec 1998) |
