Agmatine

Agmatine, also known as 4-aminobutyl-guanidine, was discovered in 1910 by Albrecht Kossel.

See Spermine and Agmatine

Agmatine deiminase

In enzymology, an agmatine deiminase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are agmatine and H2O, whereas its two products are N-carbamoylputrescine and NH3.

See Spermine and Agmatine deiminase

Albert Ladenburg

Albert Ladenburg (2 July 184215 August 1911) was a German chemist.

See Spermine and Albert Ladenburg

Amine

In chemistry, amines are compounds and functional groups that contain a basic nitrogen atom with a lone pair.

See Spermine and Amine

Ammonia

Ammonia is an inorganic chemical compound of nitrogen and hydrogen with the formula.

See Spermine and Ammonia

Antioxidant

Antioxidants are compounds that inhibit oxidation (usually occurring as autoxidation), a chemical reaction that can produce free radicals.

See Spermine and Antioxidant

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek

Antonie Philips van Leeuwenhoek (24 October 1632 – 26 August 1723) was a Dutch microbiologist and microscopist in the Golden Age of Dutch science and technology.

See Spermine and Antonie van Leeuwenhoek

Bacteria

Bacteria (bacterium) are ubiquitous, mostly free-living organisms often consisting of one biological cell.

See Spermine and Bacteria

Cadaverine

Cadaverine is an organic compound with the formula (CH2)5(NH2)2.

See Spermine and Cadaverine

Cancer treatment

Cancer treatments are a wide range of treatments available for the many different types of cancer, with each cancer type needing its own specific treatment.

See Spermine and Cancer treatment

Decarboxylation

Decarboxylation is a chemical reaction that removes a carboxyl group and releases carbon dioxide (CO2).

See Spermine and Decarboxylation

Derivative (chemistry)

In chemistry, a derivative is a compound that is derived from a similar compound by a chemical reaction.

See Spermine and Derivative (chemistry)

Diethylenetriamine

Diethylenetriamine (abbreviated Dien or DETA) and also known as 2,2’-Iminodi(ethylamine)) is an organic compound with the formula HN(CH2CH2NH2)2. This colourless hygroscopic liquid is soluble in water and polar organic solvents, but not simple hydrocarbons. Diethylenetriamine is structural analogue of diethylene glycol. Spermine and Diethylenetriamine are Secondary amines.

See Spermine and Diethylenetriamine

Enzyme

Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts by accelerating chemical reactions.

See Spermine and Enzyme

Eukaryote

The eukaryotes constitute the domain of Eukarya or Eukaryota, organisms whose cells have a membrane-bound nucleus.

See Spermine and Eukaryote

Growth factor

A growth factor is a naturally occurring substance capable of stimulating cell proliferation, wound healing, and occasionally cellular differentiation.

See Spermine and Growth factor

Guanidine

Guanidine is the compound with the formula HNC(NH2)2.

See Spermine and Guanidine

Hydrolase

In biochemistry, hydrolases constitute a class of enzymes that commonly function as biochemical catalysts that use water to break a chemical bond: This typically results in dividing a larger molecule into smaller molecules.

See Spermine and Hydrolase

Metabolism (from μεταβολή metabolē, "change") is the set of life-sustaining chemical reactions in organisms.

See Spermine and Metabolism

Norspermidine

Norspermidine is a polyamine of similar structure to the more common spermidine. Spermine and Norspermidine are polyamines and Secondary amines.

See Spermine and Norspermidine

Nucleic acid

Nucleic acids are large biomolecules that are crucial in all cells and viruses.

See Spermine and Nucleic acid

Ornithine

Ornithine is a non-proteinogenic α-amino acid that plays a role in the urea cycle.

See Spermine and Ornithine

Ornithine decarboxylase

The enzyme ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) catalyzes the decarboxylation of ornithine (a product of the urea cycle) to form putrescine.

See Spermine and Ornithine decarboxylase

Phosphate

In chemistry, a phosphate is an anion, salt, functional group or ester derived from a phosphoric acid.

See Spermine and Phosphate

Polyamine

A polyamine is an organic compound having more than two amino groups. Spermine and polyamine are polyamines.

See Spermine and Polyamine

Polyelectrolyte

Polyelectrolytes are polymers whose repeating units bear an electrolyte group.

See Spermine and Polyelectrolyte

Putrescine

Putrescine is an organic compound with the formula (CH2)4(NH2)2.

See Spermine and Putrescine

Pyridoxal phosphate

Pyridoxal phosphate (PLP, pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, P5P), the active form of vitamin B6, is a coenzyme in a variety of enzymatic reactions.

See Spermine and Pyridoxal phosphate

S-Adenosylmethioninamine

S-Adenosylmethioninamine is a substrate that is required for the biosynthesis of polyamines including spermidine, spermine, and thermospermine.

See Spermine and S-Adenosylmethioninamine

Semen

Semen, also known as seminal fluid, is a bodily fluid that contains spermatozoa.

See Spermine and Semen

Spermidine

Spermidine is a polyamine compound found in ribosomes and living tissues and having various metabolic functions within organisms. Spermine and Spermidine are NMDA receptor agonists, polyamines and Secondary amines.

See Spermine and Spermidine

Spermidine synthase

Spermidine synthase is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of the propylamine group from ''S''-adenosylmethioninamine to putrescine in the biosynthesis of spermidine.

See Spermine and Spermidine synthase

Virus

A virus is a submicroscopic infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of an organism.
