| adenylosuccinic acid | A condensation product of aspartic acid and inosine 5'-monophosphate; an intermediate in the biosynthesis of adenylic acid. Formally, it is adenylic acid with succinic acid replacing an H of the NH2 group, forming a C-N. Synonym: adenylylosuccinic acid, N-succinyladenylic acid. Acronym: sAMP (05 Mar 2000) |
