| aliphatic acids | The acids of nonaromatic hydrocarbons (e.g., acetic, propionic, butyric acids); the so-called fatty acids of the formula R-COOH, where R is a nonaromatic (aliphatic) hydrocarbon. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| alkanesulfonic acids | Sulfonic acid derivatives that are substituted with an aliphatic hydrocarbon group. (12 Dec 1998) |
| amino acids | Organic compounds that generally contain an amino (-nh2) and a carboxyl (-cooh) group. Twenty alpha-amino acids are the subunits which are polymerised to form proteins. (12 Dec 1998) |
| amino acids, branched-chain | Amino acids which have a branched carbon chain. (12 Dec 1998) |
| amino acids, cyclic | A class of amino acids characterised by a closed ring structure. (12 Dec 1998) |
| aminobutyric acids | <chemistry> Aliphatic four carbon acids substituted in any position(s) with amino group(s). They are found in most living things. The best known is gaba. (12 Dec 1998) |
| aminohippuric acids | A group of glycine amides of aminobenzoic acids. (12 Dec 1998) |
| aminoisobutyric acids | A group of compounds that are derivatives of the amino acid 2-amino-2-methylpropanoic acid. (12 Dec 1998) |
| aminosalicylic acids | Amino-2-hydroxybenzoic acids. A group of hydroxybenzoic acids that include substitution by amino groups at the 3-, 4-, 5-, or 6-position. The 4-amino derivative, p-aminosalicylic acid, is an antitubercular agent. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anthranilic acids | Benzoic acids which are substituted with an amino group in the c-2 position. (12 Dec 1998) |
| arylsulfonic acids | Organic sulfonic acid derivatives which contain an aromatic hydrocarbon radical. (12 Dec 1998) |
| boric acids | Inorganic and organic derivatives of boric acid either b(oh)3 or, preferably h3bo3. (12 Dec 1998) |
| borinic acids | Inorganic or organic compounds that contain the general structure r2b(oh). (12 Dec 1998) |
| boronic acids | Inorganic or organic compounds that contain the basic structure rb(oh)2. (12 Dec 1998) |
| butyric acids | 4-carbon saturated monocarboxylic acids. (12 Dec 1998) |
