  2. Uridine triphosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uridine_triphosphate

    Uridine-5′-triphosphate (UTP) is a pyrimidine nucleoside triphosphate, consisting of the organic base uracil linked to the 1′ carbon of the ribose sugar, and esterified with tri-phosphoric acid at the 5′ position. Its main role is as substrate for the synthesis of RNA during transcription.

  3. Energy charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_charge

    The adenylate energy charge is an index used to measure the energy status of biological cells.. ATP or Mg-ATP is the principal molecule for storing and transferring energy in the cell : it is used for biosynthetic pathways, maintenance of transmembrane gradients, movement, cell division, etc...

  4. Reference materials for stable isotope analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_materials_for...

    The δ values and absolute isotope ratios of common reference materials are summarized in Table 1 and described in more detail below. Alternative values for the absolute isotopic ratios of reference materials, differing only modestly from those in Table 1, are presented in Table 2.5 of Sharp (2007) [1] (a text freely available online), as well as Table 1 of the 1993 IAEA report on isotopic ...

  5. ATP hydrolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATP_hydrolysis

    Structure of ATP Structure of ADP Four possible resonance structures for inorganic phosphate. ATP hydrolysis is the catabolic reaction process by which chemical energy that has been stored in the high-energy phosphoanhydride bonds in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is released after splitting these bonds, for example in muscles, by producing work in the form of mechanical energy.

  6. Joint Tactical Radio System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Tactical_Radio_System

    On June 22, 2007, the Joint Program Executive Office issued the first JTRS-Approved radio (not JTRS-Certified) production contract. It gave Harris Corporation $2.7 billion and Thales Communications Inc. $3.5 billion for first-year procurement and allowed the firms to compete for more parts of the five-year program. Harris could make up to $7 ...

  7. Arsenic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsenic

    Arsenic disrupts ATP production through several mechanisms. At the level of the citric acid cycle , arsenic inhibits lipoic acid , which is a cofactor for pyruvate dehydrogenase . By competing with phosphate, arsenate uncouples oxidative phosphorylation , thus inhibiting energy-linked reduction of NAD+ , mitochondrial respiration and ATP synthesis.

  8. Chemical element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_element

    The reference state of an element is defined by convention, usually as the thermodynamically most stable allotrope and physical state at a pressure of 1 bar and a given temperature (typically at 298.15K). However, for phosphorus, the reference state is white phosphorus even though it is not the most stable allotrope, and the reference state for ...

  9. Magnesium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium

    Magnesium ions interact with polyphosphate compounds such as ATP, DNA, and RNA. Hundreds of enzymes require magnesium ions to function. Hundreds of enzymes require magnesium ions to function. Magnesium compounds are used medicinally as common laxatives and antacids (such as milk of magnesia ), and to stabilize abnormal nerve excitation or blood ...
