• Acid [r]: A chemical that accepts electron pairs, but sometimes defined as proton (H⁺) or hydronium (H₃O)⁺ ion donors. ^[e]
• Adenine [r]: A base incorporated into DNA and RNA and part of an energy carrier, as ATP, in metabolism. ^[e]
• Adenosine triphosphate [r]: A molecule sometimes called the "energy currency" of a cell ^[e]
• Alanine cycle [r]: A way for muscle cells to use amino acids as energy sources, while transferring to the liver the expensive task of dealing with the ammonium released from those amino acids. ^[e]
• Alanine [r]: The second smallest of the twenty common amino acids used by living organisms to build proteins. ^[e]
• Angiotensin [r]: Oligopeptides which are important in the regulation of blood pressure (vasoconstriction) and fluid homeostasis via the renin-angiotensin system. These include angiotensins derived naturally from precursor angiotensinogen, and those synthesized. ^[e]
• Antineoplastons [r]: Naturally-occurring peptide and amino acid derivatives which are used to control the growth of cancer. ^[e]
• Archaea [r]: A major group of numerous microorganisms fundamentally different from the bacteria and including many chemolithotrophs and extremophiles. ^[e]
• Arginine [r]: A positively charged common amino acid, incorporated into proteins. ^[e]
• Asparagine [r]: One of the twenty common amino acids used by living organisms to build proteins. It is neutral but polar. ^[e]
• Aspartic acid [r]: One of the common amino acids incorporated into proteins. It is charged, polar, and hydrophilic. ^[e]
• Bacterial cell structure [r]: Morphological and genetic features of unicellular prokaryotic organisms characterized by the lack of a membrane-bound nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. ^[e]
• Biochemistry [r]: The chemistry of living things; a field of both biology and chemistry. ^[e]
• Biogenic amine receptor [r]: Cell surface proteins that bind biogenic amines with high affinity and regulate intracellular signals which influence the behavior of cells. ^[e]
• Biosynthesis [r]: The production of chemical metabolites by living systems. ^[e]
• Carboxylic acid [r]: An organic acid with the formula R-COOH or R-CO₂H. ^[e]
• Carnitine [r]: An essential amino acid for some animals which carries long chain fatty acids across the inner mitochondrial membrane. ^[e]
• Catabolism [r]: The metabolic process that breaks down molecules into smaller units. ^[e]
• Cell (biology) [r]: The basic unit of life, consisting of biochemical networks enclosed by a membrane. ^[e]
• Chorismate [r]: In bacteria, the chemical precursor for the biosynthesis of the amino acids phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan. ^[e]
• Citric acid cycle [r]: A series of enzyme-catalysed chemical reactions of central importance in all living cells that use oxygen as part of cellular respiration. ^[e]
• Connexin [r]: Family of structurally-related transmembrane proteins that assemble to form vertebrate gap junctions. ^[e]
• Cysteine [r]: One of the twenty common amino acids and one of two that contains a sulphur atom. ^[e]
• Cystine [r]: A molecular dimer formed by two molecules of cysteine, which are connected by a disulfide bond. ^[e]
