Difference between Dolichol and Polyprenol

Dolichol vs. Polyprenol

Dolichol refers to any of a group of long-chain mostly unsaturated organic compounds that are made up of varying numbers of isoprene units terminating in an α-saturated isoprenoid group, containing an alcohol functional group. Polyprenols are natural long-chain isoprenoid alcohols of the general formula H-(C5H8)n-OH, where n is the number of isoprene units.

Similarities between Dolichol and Polyprenol

Dolichol and Polyprenol have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Alcohol (chemistry), Antioxidant, Glycoprotein, Glycosylation, Isoprene, Lipid peroxidation, Terpenoid.

Alcohol (chemistry)

In chemistry, an alcohol is a type of organic compound that carries at least one hydroxyl functional group bound to carbon.

Antioxidant

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

Glycoprotein

Glycoproteins are proteins which contain oligosaccharide (sugar) chains covalently attached to amino acid side-chains.

Glycosylation

Glycosylation is the reaction in which a carbohydrate (or 'glycan'), i.e. a glycosyl donor, is attached to a hydroxyl or other functional group of another molecule (a glycosyl acceptor) in order to form a glycoconjugate.

Isoprene

Isoprene, or 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene, is a common volatile organic compound with the formula CH2.

Lipid peroxidation

Lipid peroxidation, or lipid oxidation, is a complex chemical process that leads to oxidative degradation of lipids, resulting in the formation of peroxide and hydroperoxide derivatives.

Terpenoid

The terpenoids, also known as isoprenoids, are a class of naturally occurring organic chemicals derived from the 5-carbon compound isoprene and its derivatives called terpenes, diterpenes, etc.
