    English: A diagram showing the chemical synthesis of aspirin. العربية: رسم توضيحي يوضح التركيب الكيميائي للأسبرين. Español: Un diagrama que muestra la síntesis química de la aspirina.

  3. Mechanism of action of aspirin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanism_of_action_of_aspirin

    In short, aspirin buffers and transports the protons, acting as a competitor to ATP synthase. When high doses of aspirin are given, aspirin may actually cause hyperthermia due to the heat released from the electron transport chain, as opposed to the antipyretic action of aspirin seen with lower doses.

    Magnesium can also be toxic to plants, although this is typically seen only in drought conditions. [47] [48] Space-filling model of the chlorophyll a molecule, with the magnesium ion (bright-green) visible at the center of the chlorin group. In animals, magnesium deficiency (hypomagnesemia) is seen when the environmental availability of ...

  5. Aspirin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspirin

    The synthesis of aspirin is classified as an esterification reaction. Salicylic acid is treated with acetic anhydride, an acid derivative, causing a chemical reaction that turns salicylic acid's hydroxyl group into an ester group (R-OH → R-OCOCH 3). This process yields aspirin and acetic acid, which is considered a byproduct of this reaction.

  6. Oxidative phosphorylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidative_phosphorylation

    The chain of redox reactions driving the flow of electrons through the electron transport chain, from electron donors such as NADH to electron acceptors such as oxygen and hydrogen (protons), is an exergonic process – it releases energy, whereas the synthesis of ATP is an endergonic process, which requires an input of energy.

  7. Epithelial sodium channel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epithelial_sodium_channel

    The epithelial sodium channel (ENaC), (also known as amiloride-sensitive sodium channel) is a membrane-bound ion channel that is selectively permeable to sodium ions (Na +).It is assembled as a heterotrimer composed of three homologous subunits α or δ, β, and γ, [2] These subunits are encoded by four genes: SCNN1A, SCNN1B, SCNN1G, and SCNN1D.

    Flow diagram of the split-mix combinatorial synthesis The procedure is illustrated by the synthesis of a dipeptide library using the same three amino acids as building blocks in both cycles. Each component of this library contains two amino acids arranged in different orders.

  9. Voltage-gated sodium channel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage-gated_sodium_channel

    Voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs), also known as voltage-dependent sodium channels (VDSCs), are a group of voltage-gated ion channels found in the membrane of excitable cells (e.g., muscle, glial cells, neurons, etc.) with a permeability to the sodium ion Na +. They are the main channels involved in action potential of excitable cells.
