  2. Sterol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterol

    Sterol is an organic compound [1] with formula C 17 H 28 O , whose molecule is derived from that of gonane by replacement of a hydrogen atom on C3 position by a hydroxyl group.

  3. Table of nuclides - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_nuclides

    A chart or table of nuclides maps the nuclear, or radioactive, behavior of nuclides, as it distinguishes the isotopes of an element.It contrasts with a periodic table, which only maps their chemical behavior, since isotopes (nuclides that are variants of the same element) do not differ chemically to any significant degree, with the exception of hydrogen.

  5. Sterol regulatory element-binding protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterol_regulatory_element...

    Proteolytic cleavage frees it to move through the cytoplasm to the nucleus. Once in the nucleus, SREBP can bind to specific DNA sequences (the sterol regulatory elements or SREs) that are found in the control regions of the genes that encode enzymes needed to make lipids. This binding to DNA leads to the increased transcription of the target genes.

  6. List of nuclides - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nuclides

    This list of nuclides shows observed nuclides that either are stable or, if radioactive, have half-lives longer than one hour. This represents isotopes of the first 105 elements, except for elements 87 (), 102 and 104 (rutherfordium).

  7. Cholesterol total synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholesterol_total_synthesis

    Cholesterol is a tetracyclic alcohol and a type of sterol. Added to the sterol frame with the alcohol group at position 3 are 2 methyl groups at carbon positions 10 and 13 and a 2-isooctyl group at position 17. The molecule is unsaturated at position 5,6 with an alkene group.

  8. Cholesterol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholesterol

    Cholesterol is the principal sterol of all higher animals, distributed in body tissues, especially the brain and spinal cord, and in animal fats and oils. [3] [4]Cholesterol is biosynthesized by all animal cells [citation needed] and is an essential structural and signaling component of animal cell membranes.

  9. Valley of stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley_of_stability

    where A and Z are the mass number and atomic number of the decaying nucleus, and X and X′ are the initial and final nuclides, respectively. For β + decay, the generic form is A Z X → A Z−1 X′ + e + + ν e [14] These reactions correspond to the decay of a neutron to a proton, or the decay of a proton to a neutron, within the nucleus ...
