| 설명 | 염기, 당, 인산으로 이루어진 뉴클레오티드가 긴 사슬 모양으로 중합된 고분자 물질. 유전이나 단백질 합성을 지배하는 중요한 물질로, 생물의 증식을 비롯한 생명 활동 유지에 중요한 작용을 한다. 구성 당인 오탄당이 리보오스인 리보핵산과 디옥시리보오스인 디옥시리보 핵산으로 나뉜다. 펜토스로서 리보스나 데옥시리보스 어느 한쪽만을 포함하며 전자를 리보핵산(RNA), 후자를 데옥시리보핵산(deoxyribonucleic acid, DNA)이라 부른다. 모두 4종류의 유기염기에 의해 특징지어지며 아데닌, 구아닌 및 시토신은 양자에 공통이다. 티민은 DNA에, 우라실은 RNA에 포함된다. DNA는 주로 핵에 존재하며 형질유전에 그리고 RNA는 세포질속에서 단백질 합성에 관여한다. 섭취된 핵산은 소화관에서 구성분자로까지 가수분해되어 흡수된다. |

| activated fatty acid | A fatty acyl-coenzyme A thiol ester. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| branched-chain fatty-acid-kinase | <enzyme> From anaerobic spirochete ma-2 Registry number: EC 2.7.2.14 Synonym: isovalerate kinase, 2-methylbutyrate kinase, isobutyrate kinase (26 Jun 1999) |
| branched-chain fatty acid synthetase | <enzyme> Analogous to fatty acid synthetase complex but starting with a branched chain keto acid; from bacillis subtilis Registry number: EC 2.3.1.- Synonym: bcfa synthetase (26 Jun 1999) |
| volatile fatty acid number | An index of the volatile acid content of a fat; the number of milliliters of 0.1 n KOH required to neutralise the soluble volatile fatty acids in 5 g of fat that has been saponified, acidified to liberate the fatty acids, and then steam-distilled. Synonym: volatile fatty acid number. (05 Mar 2000) |
| polyenoic fatty acid isomerase | <enzyme> Catalyses conversion of arachidonic acid and 5,8,11,14,17-eicosapentaenoic acid to 5,7,9,14-eicosatetraenoic acid and 5,7,9,14,17-eicosapentaenoic acid, respectively Registry number: EC 5.3.3.- Synonym: pfi enzyme (26 Jun 1999) |
| saturated fatty acid | A fatty acid, the carbon chain of which contains no ethylenic or other unsaturated linkages between carbon atoms (e.g., stearic acid and palmitic acid); called saturated because it is incapable of absorbing any more hydrogen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| xenobiotic medium chain fatty acid - coenzyme A ligase | <enzyme> Partial amino acid sequence of enzyme from bovine liver mitochondria given I first source; has high sequence homology to human and rat sa protein Registry number: EC 6.2.1.- Synonym: xl-i ligase, xl-i carboxylic acid - CoA ligase (26 Jun 1999) |
| delta-13 fatty acid desaturase | <enzyme> Involved in sex pheromone biosynthesis from palmitic acid in the moth thaumetopoea pityocampa, acts in conjunction with an 11-desaturase Registry number: EC 1.14.99.- Synonym: delta-13 desaturase (26 Jun 1999) |
| delta-22 fatty acid desaturase | <enzyme> Involved in ergosterol biosynthesis Registry number: EC 1.14.99.- Synonym: ergosta-5,7-dien-3 beta-ol delta-22 desaturase (26 Jun 1999) |
| diethenoid fatty acid | A fatty acid containing two double bonds, e.g., linoleic acid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| omega-3 fatty acid desaturase | <enzyme> Catalyses desaturation of the omega-3 carbon (3rd from free end) of c-18 fatty acids; deficiency results in accumulation of linoleic acid (18:2omega6,9) at the expense of linolenic acid (18:3omega3,6,9); amino acid sequence given in first source Registry number: EC 1.14.99.- Synonym: fad3 gene product, omega-3 desaturase (26 Jun 1999) |
| essential fatty acid | <biochemistry> The three fatty acids required for growth in mammals, arachidonic, linolenic and linoleic acids. Only linoleic acid needs to be supplied in the diet, the other two can be made from it. (18 Nov 1997) |
| unesterified free fatty acid | Free fatty acids which occur in plasma as a result of lipolysis in adipose tissue or when plasma triacylglycerols are taken into tissues. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fatty acid | <biochemistry> Any number of saturated aliphatic monocarboxylic acids. A metabolic byproduct from the breakdown of fats. Chemically R COOH where R is an aliphatic moiety. The common fatty acids of biological origin are linear chains with an even number of carbon atoms. Free fatty acids are present in living tissues at low concentrations. The esterified forms are important both as energy storage molecules and structural molecules. See: triglycerides, phospholipids. (15 Nov 1997) |
