A compound derived from ammonia by replacing hydrogen atoms by univalent hydrocarbon radicals; SYN. aminoalkane.
Compound derived from ammonia.
Any of a class of organic chemical compounds in which one or more of the hydrogen atoms of ammonia (NH3) have been replaced by other groups of atoms.
Methyl amines have unpleasant ammonia odors and occur in decomposing fish. They are all gases at ordinary temperature.
Aromatic amine compounds include aniline, which is used in dyeing.

A complex inorganic compound that contains ammonia molecules.
1. a molecule of ammonia as it exists in a coordination complex hex-ammine-cobalt chloride Co(NH3)6Cl3
2. A compound that contains an ammine

An expression used at the end of prayers, and meaning, At the end of a creed, it is a solemn asseveration of belief.

An amphoteric organic acid containing the amino group NH2; especially; any of the various amino acids having the amino group in the alpha position that are the chief components of proteins and are synthesized by living cells or are obtained as essential components of the diet
Building block of proteins; containing an amino group and a carboxylic acid group; SYN. aminoalkanoic acid.
One of many acids forming the principal ingredients of protein.
Water-soluble organic molecule, mainly composed of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen, containing both a basic amino group (NH2) and an acidic carboxyl (cooh) group. They are small molecules able to pass through membranes. When two or more amino acids are joined together, they are known as peptides; proteins are made up of peptide chains folded or twisted in characteristic shapes.
Many different proteins are found in the cells of living organisms, but they are all made up of the same 20 amino acids, joined together in varying combinations (although other types of amino acid do occur infrequently in nature). Eight of these, the essential amino acids, cannot be synthesized by humans and must be obtained from the diet. Children need a further two amino acids that are not essential for adults. Other animals also need some preformed amino acids in their diet, but green plants can manufacture all the amino acids they need from simpler molecules, relying on energy from the Sun and minerals (including nitrates) from the soil. aminoacid
