Parent topics
- Biology [r]: The science of life — of complex, self-organizing, information-processing systems living in the past, present or future. [e]
- Chemistry [r]: The science of matter, or of the electrical or electrostatical interactions of matter. [e]
Subtopics
- Protein [r]: A polymer of amino acids; basic building block of living systems. [e]
- Nucleic acid [r]: A class of macromolecules important in conveying genetic information. [e]
- Amino acid [r]: Biochemical with an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom, and a side chain bonded to a central carbon. [e]
- Enzyme [r]: A protein that catalyzes (i.e. accelerate) chemical reactions. [e]
- Cofactor [r]: Please do not use this term in your topic list, because there is no single article for it. Please substitute a more precise term. See Cofactor (disambiguation) for a list of available, more precise, topics. Please add a new usage if needed.
- Life [r]: Living systems, of which biologists seek the commonalities distinguishing them from non-living systems. [e]
- Second messenger system [r]: Systems in which an intracellular signal is generated in response to an intercellular primary messenger such as a hormone or neurotransmitter. [e]
- Signal transduction [r]: The intercellular or intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. [e]
- Cyclic AMP [r]: An adenine nucleotide that is a second messenger and a key intracellular regulator, functioning as a mediator of activity for a number of hormones, including epinephrine, glucagon, and ACTH. [e]
- Cytokines [r]: The chemical messengers of the immune system, primarily but not exclusively carried in blood [e]
- Cyclic GMP [r]: A guanine nucleotide that is a cellular regulatory agent and has been described as a second messenger. Its levels increase in response to a variety of hormones, including acetylcholine, insulin, and oxytocin and it has been found to activate specific protein kinases. [e]
