81adenosine diphosphate — noun A nucleotide, the result of adenosine triphosphate losing a phosphate group in metabolism …
82Adenosine deaminase (ADA) deficiency — A genetic (inherited) condition that results in a immune deficiency disorder called severe combined immunodeficiency disease. Adenosine deaminase is an enzyme that plays a key role in salvaging purine molecules. ADA deficiency is of special… …
83adenosine 5′-diphosphate — A condensation product of adenosine with pyrophosphoric acid, formed from ATP by the hydrolysis of the terminal phosphate group of the latter compound …
84adenosine 3′-phosphate 5′-phosphosulfate — An intermediate in the formation of urinary ethereal sulfates, notable for containing a “high energy” sulfate bond; the 3′ OH of adenosine is replaced by OPO3H2, the 5′ OH by OP(O2H) OSO3H. SYN: active sulfate …
85adenosine deaminase deficiency — (ADA deficiency) a genetic disorder affecting about one baby in 25,000 and characterized by a defect in adenosine deaminase (ADA), an enzyme that is involved in purine metabolism. Deficiency of this enzyme results in selective damage to the… …
86adenosine kinase — aden·o·sine ki·nase (ə denґo sēn kiґnās) [EC 2.7.1.20] an enzyme of the transferase class that catalyzes the phosphorylation of adenosine by ATP to form ADP. The reaction is part of the purine salvage mechanism …
87adenosine triphosphate — noun Biochemistry a compound which by its breakdown in the body (to adenosine diphosphate) provides energy for physiological processes such as muscular contraction …
88adenosine deaminase deficiency — ADA deficiency a genetic disorder affecting about one baby in 25,000 and characterized by a defect in adenosine deaminase (ADA), an enzyme that is involved in purine metabolism. Deficiency of this enzyme results in selective damage to the… …
89adenosine diphosphate — /əˌdɛnəsɪn daɪˈfɒsfeɪt/ (say uh.denuhsin duy fosfayt) noun a compound formed when adenosine triphosphate stored in blood platelets releases a phosphate group triggering the release of metabolic energy; when damaged platelets release it, however,… …
90adenosine triphosphate — /əˌdɛnəsin traɪˈfɒsfeɪt/ (say uh.denuhseen truy fosfayt), /ædəˌnoʊsin/ (say aduh.nohseen) noun the triphosphate of adenosine, present in all living cells, which represents a store of chemical energy. Abbrev.: ATP …
