carbon skeleton in a sentence
Examples
- Continuing down the pathway, the removal of the carbon skeleton of aspartate by SAICAR lyase results in 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide ( AICAR ).
- When the reactant is a silylmethanol the reaction is a 1, 2-brook rearrangement but rearrangements over larger carbon skeletons are also possible.
- When terpenes are modified chemically, such as by oxidation or rearrangement of the carbon skeleton, the resulting compounds are generally referred to as terpenoids.
- There are also purely structural classifications based on the presence of carbazole, ?-carboline or other units in the carbon skeleton of the alkaloid molecule.
- Related bicyclics are norbornadiene which has the same carbon skeleton but with two double bonds and norbornane which is completely saturated without double bonds.
- The sugars produced during carbon metabolism yield carbon skeletons that can be used for other metabolic reactions like the production of amino acids and lipids.
- When terpenes are modified chemically, such as by oxidation or rearrangement of the carbon skeleton, the resulting compounds are generally referred to as " terpenoids ".
- The effect has proved to be general, but if fluoro instead of perfluoroalkyl groups decorate the carbon skeleton, behavior can be very different, as the following example reveals.
- Transamination or deamination of amino acids facilitates entering of their carbon skeleton into the cycle directly ( as pyruvate or oxaloacetate ), or indirectly via the citric acid cycle.
- It is believed that this radical forms a carbon-cobalt bond to the coenzyme, which is then followed by the rearrangement of the substrate's carbon skeleton, thus producing a succinyl-CoA radical.
