  2. Ethylamine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylamine

    Ethylamine, also known as ethanamine, is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 CH 2 NH 2. This colourless gas has a strong ammonia-like odor. It condenses just below room temperature to a liquid miscible with virtually all solvents. It is a nucleophilic base, as is typical for amines. Ethylamine is widely used in chemical industry and ...

  3. Biological basis of personality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_basis_of...

    However, this definition and theory of biological basis is not universally accepted. There are many conflicting theories of personality in the fields of psychology, psychiatry, philosophy, and neuroscience. A few examples of this are the nature vs. nurture debate and how the idea of a 'soul' fits into biological theories of personality. [1]

  4. Phenethylamine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenethylamine

    Phenethylamine [note 1] (PEA) is an organic compound, natural monoamine alkaloid, and trace amine, which acts as a central nervous system stimulant in humans. In the brain, phenethylamine regulates monoamine neurotransmission by binding to trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) and inhibiting vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) in ...

  5. Monoamine neurotransmitter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoamine_neurotransmitter

    A phylogenetic tree showing how a number of monoamine receptors are related to each other. Monoamine neurotransmitter systems occur in virtually all vertebrates, where the evolvability of these systems has served to promote the adaptability of vertebrate species to different environments.

  6. Neutralization (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    Animation of a strong acid–strong base neutralization titration (using phenolphthalein). The equivalence point is marked in red. The equivalence point is marked in red. In chemistry, neutralization or neutralisation (see spelling differences ) is a chemical reaction in which acid and a base react with an equivalent quantity of each other.

  7. Biochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biochemistry

    Biochemistry, or biological chemistry, is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms. [1] A sub-discipline of both chemistry and biology, biochemistry may be divided into three fields: structural biology, enzymology, and metabolism. Over the last decades of the 20th century, biochemistry has become successful at ...

  8. Conjugate (acid-base theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugate_(acid-base_theory)

    On the other hand, if a chemical is a weak acid its conjugate base will not necessarily be strong. Consider that ethanoate, the conjugate base of ethanoic acid, has a base splitting constant (Kb) of about 5.6 × 10 −10, making it a weak base. In order for a species to have a strong conjugate base it has to be a very weak acid, like water.

  9. Phenylethanolamine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenylethanolamine

    In man, a total oral dose of 1 g also produced no effects. Doses of 1–5 mg/kg, intravenously, caused no definite changes in respiration in cats or rabbits, and additional experiments showed that phenylethanolamine had no broncho-dilatory properties in animals. There was a similar lack of effect when the drug was given subcutaneously to man.
