| aromatic-l-amino-acid decarboxylases | <enzyme> An enzyme group with broad specificity. The enzymes decarboxylate a range of aromatic amino acids including dopa (dopa decarboxylase), tryptophan, and hydroxytryptophan. Chemical name: Aromatic-L-amino-acid carboxy-lyase Registry number: EC 4.1.1.28 (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| basic amino acid | An amino acid containing a second basic group (usually an amino group); e.g., lysine, arginine, ornithine. Synonym: dibasic amino acid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| receptors, amino acid | Cell surface proteins that bind amino acids and trigger changes which influence the behaviour of cells. Glutamate receptors are the most common receptors for fast excitatory synaptic transmission in the vertebrate central nervous system, and gaba and glycine receptors are the most common receptors for fast inhibition. (12 Dec 1998) |
| glucogenic amino acid | <biochemistry> A type of amino acid with carbon chains that can be broken down into an intermediate of the citric acid cycle such as glycogen and then converted into glucose as a means of entering the normal process of carbohydrate metabolism in the body. Examples include: Glycine, alanine, arginine, and ornithine. (14 Oct 1997) |
| RNA, transfer, amino acid-specific | A group of transfer rnas which are specific for carrying each one of the 20 amino acids to the ribosome in preparation for protein synthesis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| RNA, transfer, amino acyl | Intermediates in protein biosynthesis. The compounds are formed from amino acids, ATP and transfer RNA, a reaction catalyzed by aminoacyl trna synthetase. They are key compounds in the genetic translation process. (12 Dec 1998) |
| c-Jun amino-terminal kinase | <enzyme> A stress-activated protein kinase; 46-kD kinase that phosphorylates ser(63) and ser(73) of c-jun; similar to yeast hog1 kinase; amino acid sequence given in second source; genbank l23118 Registry number: EC 2.7.10.- Synonym: jn kinase, jnk1 protein kinase, jnk-46, jnk1 protein, jun-nh2-terminal kinase, stress-activated protein kinase 1, sap kinase-1, sapk1, p46 sap kinase, c-jun kinase-1 (26 Jun 1999) |
| polar amino acid | An alpha-amino acid in which the functional group attached to the alpha-carbon (i.e., R in RCH(NH2)COOH) has hydrophilic properties; e.g., serine, cysteine, homocysteine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sequence homology, amino acid | The degree of similarity between sequences of amino acids. This information is useful for the understanding of genetic relatedness of certain species. (12 Dec 1998) |
| N-(5-amino-1-ribosyl-4-imidazolylcarbonyl)-L-aspartic acid 5'-phosphate synthetase | <enzyme> 5-amino-1-ribosyl-4-imidazole carboxylic acid 5'-phosphate (carboxy-air), ATP and aspartate yield n(5-amino-4-imidazolylcarbonyl)-l-aspartic acid 5'-phosphate(succino-aicar), ADP and p Registry number: EC 6.3.4.- (26 Jun 1999) |
