  2. α-Aminobutyric acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Α-aminobutyric_acid

    α-Aminobutyric acid is one of the three isomers of aminobutyric acid. The two other are the neurotransmitter γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) and β-Aminobutyric acid (BABA) which is known for inducing plant disease resistance. The conjugate base of α-aminobutyric acid is the carboxylate α-aminobutyrate. This amino acid has been detected in ...

  3. β-Aminobutyric acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Β-Aminobutyric_acid

    β-Aminobutyric acid (BABA) is an isomer of the amino acid aminobutyric acid with the chemical formula C 4 H 9 NO 2.It has two isomers, α-aminobutyric acid and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter in animals that is also found in plants, where it may play a role in signalling.

  4. Amphoterism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphoterism

    Water, amino acids, hydrogencarbonate ion (or bicarbonate ion) HCO − 3, dihydrogen phosphate ion H 2 PO − 4, and hydrogensulfate ion (or bisulfate ion) HSO − 4 are common examples of amphiprotic species. Since they can donate a proton, all amphiprotic substances contain a hydrogen atom. Also, since they can act like an acid or a base ...

  6. Chemosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemosynthesis

    Venenivibrio stagnispumantis gains energy by oxidizing hydrogen gas.. In biochemistry, chemosynthesis is the biological conversion of one or more carbon-containing molecules (usually carbon dioxide or methane) and nutrients into organic matter using the oxidation of inorganic compounds (e.g., hydrogen gas, hydrogen sulfide) or ferrous ions as a source of energy, rather than sunlight, as in ...

  7. Homocystine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homocystine

    Homocystine is the organosulfur compound with the formula (HO 2 CCH(NH 2)CH 2 CH 2 S) 2. It is disulfide derived from oxidation of homocysteine . [ 2 ] Its relationship with homocysteine is analogous to the relationship between cystine and cysteine .

  8. Acid–base reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid–base_reaction

    In chemistry, an acid–base reaction is a chemical reaction that occurs between an acid and a base.It can be used to determine pH via titration.Several theoretical frameworks provide alternative conceptions of the reaction mechanisms and their application in solving related problems; these are called the acid–base theories, for example, Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory.

  9. 2-Aminoisobutyric acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-Aminoisobutyric_acid

    2-Aminoisobutyric acid (also known as α-aminoisobutyric acid, AIB, α-methylalanine, or 2-methylalanine) is the non-proteinogenic amino acid with the structural formula H 2 N-C(CH 3) 2-COOH. It is rare in nature, having been only found in meteorites, [ 2 ] and some antibiotics of fungal origin, such as alamethicin and some lantibiotics .
