| carbon monoxide | <chemical> An organic byproduct of combustion, tasteless, odourless gas that competes with oxygen binding sites on the haemoglobin molecule. Early symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure include headache and nausea. Advanced exposure results in coma, cardiovascular collapse and death. (27 Sep 1997) |
| carbon monoxide dehydrogenase disulfide reductase | <enzyme> Catalyses a reversible exchange of coash with acetyl-CoA in combination with carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.99.2) Registry number: EC 1.8.- Synonym: co dehydrogenase disulfide reductase, co-dd-reductase (26 Jun 1999) |
| carbon monoxide haemoglobin | <chemical> Chemical name: Haemoglobins, carbonyl- (12 Dec 1998) |
| carbon monoxide-methylene blue oxidoreductase | <enzyme> Molybdenum-containing iron-sulfur flavoprotein from pseudomonas carboxydovorans; forms carbon dioxide Registry number: EC 1.2.3.- Synonym: cm-mb oxidoreductase, carbon monoxide oxidase (26 Jun 1999) |
| carbon-nitrogen ligases | <enzyme> Enzymes that catalyze the joining of two molecules by the formation of a carbon-nitrogen bond. Registry number: EC 6.3 (12 Dec 1998) |
| carbon-nitrogen ligases with glutamine as amide-n-donor | <enzyme> Enzymes that catalyze the joining of glutamine-derived ammonia and another molecule. The linkage is in the form of a carbon-nitrogen bond. Registry number: EC 6.3.5 (12 Dec 1998) |
| carbon-nitrogen lyases | <enzyme> Enzymes that catalyze the cleavage of a carbon-nitrogen bond by means other than hydrolysis or oxidation. Subclasses are the ammonia-lyases, the amidine-lyases, the amine-lyases, and other carbon-nitrogen lyases. Registry number: EC 4.3 (12 Dec 1998) |
