Adenosine diphosphate ( ADP) receptor inhibitors are a drug class of antiplatelet agents, used in the treatment of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or in preventive treatment for patients who are in risk of thromboembolism, myocardial infarction or a stroke. These drugs antagonize the P2Y 12 platelet receptors and therefore prevent the binding of ...
Adenosine diphosphate (ADP), also known as adenosine pyrophosphate (APP), is an important organic compound in metabolism and is essential to the flow of energy in living cells. ADP consists of three important structural components: a sugar backbone attached to adenine and two phosphate groups bonded to the 5 carbon atom of ribose .
ADP-sugar diphosphatase. In enzymology, an ADP-sugar diphosphatase ( EC 3.6.1.21) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction. Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are ADP-sugar and H 2 O, whereas its two products are AMP and alpha-D-aldose 1-phosphate . This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on acid ...
The main types are: Drug-drug interaction. This is when a medication reacts with one or more other drugs. For example, taking a cough medicine ( antitussive) and a drug to help you sleep (sedative ...
ADP-ribosylation is the addition of one or more ADP-ribose moieties to a protein. [1] [2] It is a reversible post-translational modification that is involved in many cellular processes, including cell signaling, DNA repair, gene regulation and apoptosis. [3] [4] Improper ADP-ribosylation has been implicated in some forms of cancer. [5]
In enzymology, a glucose-1-phosphate adenylyltransferase ( EC 2.7.7.27) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction. Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and alpha-D- glucose 1-phosphate, whereas its two products are diphosphate and ADP-glucose . This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring ...
ATP hydrolysis is the catabolic reaction process by which chemical energy that has been stored in the high-energy phosphoanhydride bonds in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is released after splitting these bonds, for example in muscles, by producing work in the form of mechanical energy. The product is adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and an inorganic ...
Once PARP detects a SSB, it binds to the DNA, undergoes a structural change, and begins the synthesis of a polymeric adenosine diphosphate ribose (poly (ADP-ribose) or PAR) chain, which acts as a signal for the other DNA-repairing enzymes. Target enzymes include DNA ligase III (LigIII), DNA polymerase beta (polĪ²), and scaffolding proteins such ...
