| carbon tetrachloride | <chemical> Tetrachloromethane. A solvent for oils, fats, lacquers, varnishes, rubber waxes, and resins, and a starting material in the manufacturing of organic compounds. Poisoning by inhalation, ingestion or skin absorption is possible and may be fatal. Chemical name: Methane, tetrachloro- (12 Dec 1998) |
| quaternary carbon atom | An atom of carbon to which four other carbon atom's are attached. (05 Mar 2000) |
| one-carbon fragment | The formyl group or the methyl group that takes part in transformylation or transmethylation reactions; by means of these reactions, a group containing a single carbon atom is added to a compound being biosynthesised, adding a methyl group (as in thymidine formation), adding a hydroxymethyl group (as in serine biosynthesis), or closing a ring (as in purine formation).
