acetyl |
<biochemistry, chemistry> This is the radical of acetic acid, it contains a carbonyl and a methyl group that is single-bonded to the carbon, an oxygen is single-bonded to the carbon, and the carbon has two other bonds to the rest of the molecule. (09 Oct 1997) |

<chemical> 3-hydroxy-2-butanone. A product of fermentation. It is a component of the butanediol cycle in microorganisms. In mammals it is oxidised to carbon dioxide. Chemical name: 2-Butanone, 3-hydroxy- (12 Dec 1998) |
acetyl phosphate |
CH3CO-OPO32-;a "high energy" phosphate that acts as an acetate donor in the metabolism of various bacteria. Synonym: acetic phosphoric anhydride. (05 Mar 2000) |
acetyl reduction assay |
<investigation> A technique for measuring the nitrogen fixation activity in photosynthetic organisms. It uses a flame ionisation detector and a gas chromatography apparatus to determine the reduction of acetylene to ethylene by the enzyme nitrogenase. (06 May 1997) |
acetyl sulfisoxazole |
A derivative of sulfisoxazole with the same actions and uses; an antibacterial sulfa drug. (05 Mar 2000) |
acetyl transacylase |
Enzyme transferring acetyl from acetyl-CoA to acyl carrier protein and releasing CoA to begin fatty acid synthesis. Synonym: acetyl transacylase. (05 Mar 2000) |
acetyl value |
The milligrams of KOH required to neutralise the acetic acid produced by the hydrolysis of 1 g of acetylated fat; a measure of the hydroxy acids present in glycerides; notably high in castor oil. (05 Mar 2000) |
acetyl-activating enzyme |
A ligase that catalyses the reaction of acetate and CoA and ATP to form AMP, pyrophosphate, and acetyl-CoA. A key step in the activation of acetate. Synonym: acetate thiokinase, acetate-CoA ligase, acetyl-activating enzyme, acetyl-CoA synthetase. (05 Mar 2000) |
acetyl-CoA |
<enzyme> Condensation product of coenzyme A and acetic acid, symbolised as CoAS~COCH3; intermediate in transfer of two-carbon fragment, notably in its entrance into the tricarboxylic acid cycle and in fatty acid synthesis. This coenzyme plays a huge role in intermediary metabolism, in which cells synthesise, break down or use nutrient molecules for energy production, growth, etc. Acetyl-coenzyme A synthase is found in bacteria and plants and catalyses the reaction in which acetate enters metabolic pathways and forms acetyl-coenzyme A. Synonym: acetyl-coenzyme A, active acetate. (05 Mar 2000) |
