| deoxythymidylic acid | A component of DNA; originally and properly called thymidylic acid, but use of deoxy-is less ambiguous, as ribothymidylic acid is now known to exist. Synonym: thymine deoxyribonucleotide. (05 Mar 2000) |

| deoxyuracil nucleotides | Uracil nucleotides which contain deoxyribose as the sugar moiety. (12 Dec 1998) |
| deoxyuridine | <chemical> 2'-deoxyuridine. An antimetabolite that is converted to deoxyuridine triphosphate during DNA synthesis. Laboratory suppression of deoxyuridine is used to diagnose megaloblastic anaemias due to vitamin b12 and folate deficiencies. Pharmacological action: antimetabolites. Chemical name: Uridine, 2'-deoxy- (12 Dec 1998) |
| deoxyuridine 1'-hydroxylase | <enzyme> Forms deoxyribolactone (or ribolactone)+uracil+succinate; requires fe++, alpha-ketoglutarate and o2 Registry number: EC 1.14.11.- Synonym: uridine 1'-hydroxylase, deoxyuridine, 2-oxoglutarate dioxygenase, deoxyuridine (uridine) 1'-hydroxylase (26 Jun 1999) |
| deoxyvirus | <molecular biology, virology> A virus in which the nucleic acid is double or single stranded DNA (rather than RNA). Major groups of double stranded DNA viruses are papovaviruses, adenoviruses, herpes viruses, large bacteriophages and poxviruses: of single stranded, parvoviruses and coliphages _X174 and M13.

| deoxyxylulose-5-phosphate synthase | <enzyme> Catalyses thiamin diphosphate-dependent acyloin condensation between pyruvate and glyceraldehyde Registry number: EC 2.2.1.- Synonym: dxp synthase (26 Jun 1999) |
