pyrophosphate

Pyrophosphate arthropathy is a term that may refer to either of the above.

The monomer adds to the pyrophosphate end of the growing polymer.

Studied the use of the paratungstate and pyrophosphate ions in analysis.

Having a burst of pyrophosphate present is only useful if you have a way of measuring it.

When all four are lost from pyrophosphoric acid, a pyrophosphate ion is formed.

Geranyl pyrophosphate is a major branch point for terpenoid synthesis.

That hydrogen would normally pair with the pyrophosphate, but phosphate is a fairly strong acid.

The process displaces the terminal high energy pyrophosphate.

Its exact synthesis pathway from farnesyl pyrophosphate is still unknown.

Other names in common use include bornyl pyrophosphate hydrolase, and monoterpenyl-pyrophosphatase.

However, gibberellins are not the only phytochemicals produced from ent-copalyl pyrophosphate.

Products of pyrophosphate breakdown may inhibit further reaction.

Bisphosphonates' mechanisms of action all stem from their structures' similarity to pyrophosphate (see figure above).

A classic example is the cyclization of geranyl pyrophosphate to form limonene.

Kinetic studies have indicated that turnover appears to be limited by a chemical step after the initial loss of pyrophosphate.

The formation of farnesyl pyrophosphate is via the mevalonate pathway.

Any calcium phosphate which has not yet bonded to teeth is attracted to the sodium pyrophosphate.

Diphosphotransferase are phosphotransferase enzymes which act upon pyrophosphate groups.

Synthesis begins with mevalonic acid, which is converted into dimethylallyl pyrophosphate.

The energy driving this polymerization comes from cleaving off a pyrophosphate (two phosphate groups).

Calcium pyrophosphate crystals, in contrast, show weak positive birefringence.

The reaction uses thyamine pyrophosphate in order to link the two pyruvate molecules.

The E,E-farnesyl cation is first created by the loss of pyrophosphate.

Two farnesyl pyrophosphate groups can also be combined to form squalene, the precursor for cholesterol.

This leaves a pyrophosphate as the linking group between ribose sugars rather than single phosphate groups.
