| d-amino-acid oxidase | <enzyme> Chemical name: D-Amino-acid:oxygen oxidoreductase (deaminating) Registry number: EC 1.4.3.3 (12 Dec 1998) |
| D-amino acid transaminase | <enzyme> Catalyses the alpha,beta elimination of the (d)-isomer of beta-chloroalanine or other amino acids to yield pyruvate, chloride and ammonia Registry number: EC 2.6.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| D-amino acid transferase | <enzyme> Mw 41 kD; catalyses d-amino acid transfer; d-configuration specific; recognises aromatic d-amino acid esters to form oligo d-amino acid esters Registry number: EC 2.3.2.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| dibasic 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) |
| essential amino acid | <biochemistry> Those amino acids that cannot be synthesised by an organism and must therefore be present in the diet. The term is often applied anthropocentrically to those amino acids required by humans (Ileu, Leu, Lys, Met, Phe, Thr, Try, & Val), though rats need two more (Arg & His). (18 Nov 1997) |
| 1-carbamoyl-L-amino acid amidohydrolase | <enzyme> From bacillus stearothermophilus; amino acid sequence given in first source Registry number: EC 3.5.1.- Synonym: carbamoyl l-aa amidohydrolase, n-carbamyl-l-amino acid amidohydrolase (26 Jun 1999) |
