| ChA | choline acetylase |
| ChAC | choline acetyltransferase |
| choline phosphokinase | <enzyme> An enzyme that is active in the first step of choline phosphoglyceride (lecithin) biosynthesis by catalyzing the phosphorylation of choline to phosphorylcholine in the presence of ATP. Ethanolamine and its methyl and ethyl derivatives can also act as acceptors. Chemical name: ATP:choline phosphotransferase Registry number: EC 2.7.1.32 (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| choline salicylate | Choline salt of salicyclic acid, an analgesic and antipyretic (because of the salicylate moiety). (05 Mar 2000) |
| choline theophyllinate | A true salt of theophylline; it has mild diuretic, myocardial stimulating vasodilator, and bronchodilator actions, with the same uses as theophylline, but is better absorbed and less irritating. Synonym: choline theophyllinate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adenosine 5'-diphosphate | A condensation product of adenosine with pyrophosphoric acid, formed from ATP by the hydrolysis of the terminal phosphate group of the latter compound. Acronym: ADP (05 Mar 2000) |
| adenosine diphosphate | <biochemistry> ADP is used as an adenine, a ribose and a diphosphate unit. (06 May 1997) |
| adenosine diphosphate glucose | <chemical> Serves as the glycosyl donor for formation of bacterial glycogen, amylose in green algae, and amylopectin in higher plants. Chemical name: Adenosine 5'-(trihydrogen diphosphate), P'-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl ester (12 Dec 1998) |
| adenosine diphosphate ribose | <chemical> Adenosine 5'-(trihydrogen diphosphate),5'-5-ester with d-ribose. An ester formed between the aldehydic carbon of ribose and the terminal phosphate of adenosine diphosphate. Serves as a ribose carrier. Chemical name: Adenosine 5'-(trihydrogen diphosphate), P'-5-ester with D-ribose (12 Dec 1998) |
| adenosine diphosphate ribose cyclase | <enzyme> Catalyses conversion of nadp to 2'-phospho-cyclic adenosine diphosphoribose; do not use for formation of cyclic adpribose (see ADP-ribosyl cyclase) Registry number: EC 4.6.- Synonym: 2'-p-adpr cyclase (26 Jun 1999) |

| menadiol sodium diphosphate | Tetrasodium 2-methyl-1,4-naphthalenediol-bis(dihydrogen phosphate);a dihydro derivative of menadione, with similar vitamin K activity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ribonucleoside diphosphate reductase | <enzyme> An enzyme of the oxidoreductase class that catalyses the formation of 2'-deoxyribonucleotides from the corresponding ribonucleotides using NADPH as the ultimate electron donor. The deoxyribonucleoside diphosphates are used in DNA synthesis. Chemical name: 2'-Deoxyribonucleoside-diphosphate:oxidised-thioredoxin 2'-oxidoreductase Registry number: EC 1.17.4.1 (12 Dec 1998) |
| ribose-1,5-diphosphate synthase | <enzyme> Uses ribose 1-(or 5)p as phosphoryl acceptor and acyl-p of 3-phosphoglyceroylphosphate as phosphoryl donor; similar reaction to glucose 1,6-bisphosphate synthase Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: ribose-1,5-p2 synthase (26 Jun 1999) |
| ribulose diphosphate carboxylase | <enzyme> A copper protein that catalyses the formation of 2 moles of 3-phosphoglycerate from ribulose 1,5-biphosphate in the presence of carbon dioxide and is responsible for carbon dioxide fixation in photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide is combined with ribulose diphosphate to give two molecules of 3 phosphoglycerate, as part of the Calvin Benson cycle. It is the sole carbon dioxide fixing enzyme in C3 plants and collaborates with PEP carboxylase in carbon dioxide fixation in C4 plants. In the presence of oxygen the products of the reaction are one molecule of phosphoglyceric acid and one molecule of phosphoglycolic acid. The latter is the initial substrate for photorespiration and this oxygenase function occurs in C3 plants where the enzyme is not protected from ambient oxygen, in C4 plants the enzyme acts exclusively as a carboxylase since it is protected from oxygen. Also called Fraction 1 protein, the major protein of leaves. Chemical name: 3-Phospho-D-glycerate carboxy-lyase (dimerizing) Registry number: EC 4.1.1.39 (12 Dec 1998) |
| guanosine-3',5'-bis(diphosphate) 3'-pyrophosphatase | <enzyme> Catalyses breakdown of guanosine tetraphosphate into guanosine diphosphate and pyrophosphate; spot protein is isolated from e. Coli Registry number: EC 3.1.7.2 Synonym: ppgpp-3'-pyrophosphohydrolase, guanosine tetraphosphate-3'-pyrophosphohydrolase, spot protein, spot gene product, ppgpp pyrophosphorylase, ppgppase, guanosine-5'-diphosphate 3'-diphosphate pyrophosphorylase (26 Jun 1999) |
| guanosine 5'-diphosphate | Guanosine esterified at its 5' position with diphosphoric acid; bound tightly in microtubules. Acronym: GDP (05 Mar 2000) |
