  2. Macroamylasemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macroamylasemia

    Macroamylasemia is the presence of macroamylase in the blood. Macroamylase is a complex of the enzyme amylase bound to other proteins forming a larger molecule. [1] Macroamylase is typically composed of immunoglobulin A (IgA, 70%) and less often of immunoglobulin G (IgG, 30%). The association of amylase with some drugs has also been reported.

  3. Coenzyme A - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coenzyme_A

    Coenzyme A (CoA, SHCoA, CoASH) is a coenzyme, notable for its role in the synthesis and oxidation of fatty acids, and the oxidation of pyruvate in the citric acid cycle.All genomes sequenced to date encode enzymes that use coenzyme A as a substrate, and around 4% of cellular enzymes use it (or a thioester) as a substrate.

  4. Foodomics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foodomics

    The calculation is done when food molecules are digested in various steps. Since human digestion is very complicated, a wide range of analytical techniques are used to obtain the data, including foodomics protocol and an in vitro static simulation of digestion.

    About 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Only about 0.85% is composed of another five elements: potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium. All 11 are necessary for life.

  6. Biosynthesis - Wikipedia

    This article needs attention from an expert in biochemistry.The specific problem is: someone with a solid grasp of the full scope of this subject and of its secondary and advanced teaching literatures needs to address A, the clear structural issues of the article (e.g., general absence of catabolic biosynthetic pathways, insertion of macromolecule anabolic paths before all building blocks ...

  7. Macromolecule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macromolecule

    For example, while biology refers to macromolecules as the four large molecules comprising living things, in chemistry, the term may refer to aggregates of two or more molecules held together by intermolecular forces rather than covalent bonds but which do not readily dissociate.

  8. Food chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_chemistry

    The scientific approach to food and nutrition arose with attention to agricultural chemistry in the works of J. G. Wallerius, Humphry Davy, and others.For example, Davy published Elements of Agricultural Chemistry, in a Course of Lectures for the Board of Agriculture (1813) in the United Kingdom which would serve as a foundation for the profession worldwide, going into a fifth edition.

  9. Amylase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amylase

    An amylase (/ ˈ æ m ɪ l eɪ s /) is an enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of starch (Latin amylum) into sugars.Amylase is present in the saliva of humans and some other mammals, where it begins the chemical process of digestion.
