WordDefinition
nucleosidenoun(biochemistry) an organic molecule in which a nitrogenous heterocyclic base (or nucleobase), which can be either a double-ringed purine or a single-ringed pyrimidine, is covalently attached to a five-carbon pentose sugar (deoxyribose in DNA or ribose in RNA). When the phosphate group is covalently attached to the pentose sugar, it forms a nucleotide.
phosphatasenoun(biochemistry) Any of several enzymes that hydrolyze phosphate esters, and are important in the metabolism of carbohydrates, nucleotides and phospholipids, and in the formation of bone.
phosphorylationnoun(biochemistry) the process of transferring a phosphate group from a donor to an acceptor; often catalysed by enzymes.
phosphorylated(chemistry) reacted or combined with phosphoric acid
phosphokinasenoun(biochemistry) kinase
phosphoglucomutasenoun(biochemistry) Any enzyme that catalyzes the interconversion of isomers of glucose phosphates
phosphofructokinasenoun(biochemistry) Any of a group of kinase enzymes that convert fructose phosphates to biphosphates
phosphoproteinnoun(biochemistry) any protein containing bound phosphate or complexed with a phospholipid
proteolytic enzymenounany enzyme that catalyzes the splitting of proteins into smaller peptide fractions and amino acids by a process known as proteolysis

enzymenoun(biochemistry) A biomolecule that catalyses a biological chemical reaction: either a globular protein with this function or an RNA molecule with this function.
phosphagennoun(biochemistry) Any of a class of energy storage compounds, chiefly found in muscular tissue in animals, allowing a high-energy phosphate pool to be maintained in a concentration range, which, if it all were ATP, would create problems due to the ATP consuming reactions in these tissues.
synthasenounAny enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of a biological compound.
phosphorolysisnoun(chemistry) Any reaction, akin to hydrolysis, in which a bond is broken by the action of phosphoric acid or phosphate.
proteasesnoun(also sometimes referred to as proteolytic enzymes or peptidases) in use, or have been proposed or tried, for a number of purposes related to medicine or surgery.
dehydrogenasesnoun(biochemistry) Any of several enzymes that catalyze the removal of hydrogen (a proton) from biological compounds.
