An example of the acyl group is the acetyl group Alkyl Any of a series of univalent groups of the general formula CnH2n+1 derived from aliphatic hydrocarbons Common Curiosities What is the primary structural difference between acyl and alkyl groups? Acyl groups contain a carbonyl group, whereas...
Inductions by perfluoro-octanoic acid (PFOA) of hepatomegaly, peroxisomal beta-oxidation, microsomal 1-acylglycerophosphocholine acyltransferase and cytosolic long-chain acyl-CoA hydrolase were compared in liver between male and female rats. Marked inductions of these four parameters were seen concurrentl...
Thekey differencebetween angiotensin 1 and 2 is thatangiotensin 1 is produced from angiotensinogen by the action ofreninenzyme, while angiotensinogen 2 is produced from angiotensin 1 by the action of angiotensin-converting enzyme. Angiotensin is apeptidewhich acts onsmooth muscleand raises blood pressure...
Active site is a region on an enzyme to which the substrates of a chemical reaction bind in order to undergo a catalyzed chemical reaction whereas binding site is a region on a protein, DNA or RNA, to which ligands can bind. This is the key difference between active site and binding site...
Exposure to ubiquitous endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) is a major public health concern. We analyzed the physiological impact of the EDC, di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), and found that its metabolite, mono-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (MEHP), had signi
