In some species, urea is further converted into uric acid.

An acid ( from the Latin acidus / acēre meaning sour ) is a substance which reacts with a base.

The Brønsted-Lowry definition is an expansion: an acid is a substance which can act as a proton donor.

An Arrhenius acid is a substance that increases the concentration of the hydronium ion, H < sub > 3 </ sub > O < sup >+</ sup >, when dissolved in water.

A Brønsted-Lowry acid ( or simply Brønsted acid ) is a species that donates a proton to a Brønsted-Lowry base.

As with the acetic acid reactions, both definitions work for the first example, where water is the solvent and hydronium ion is formed.

A Lewis acid is a species that accepts a pair of electrons from another species ; in other words, it is an electron pair acceptor.

BF < sub > 3 </ sub > is a Lewis acid because it accepts the electron pair from fluoride.

A proton is transferred from an unspecified Brønsted acid to ammonia, a Brønsted base ; alternatively, ammonia acts as a Lewis base and transfers a lone pair of electrons to form a bond with a hydrogen ion.

The species that gains the electron pair is the Lewis acid ; for example, the oxygen atom in H < sub > 3 </ sub > O < sup >+</ sup > gains a pair of electrons when one of the H — O bonds is broken and the electrons shared in the bond become localized on oxygen.

The Brønsted-Lowry definition is the most widely used definition ; unless otherwise specified acid-base reactions are assumed to involve the transfer of a proton ( H < sup >+</ sup >) from an acid to a base.

Reactions of acids are often generalized in the form HA H < sup >+</ sup > + A < sup >−</ sup >, where HA represents the acid and A < sup >−</ sup > is the conjugate base.

The acid dissociation constant K < sub > a </ sub > is generally used in the context of acid-base reactions.

The numerical value of K < sub > a </ sub > is equal to the concentration of the products divided by the concentration of the reactants, where the reactant is the acid ( HA ) and the products are the conjugate base and H < sup >+</ sup >.

The prefix " hydro -" is added only if the acid is made up of just hydrogen and one other element.

At pH values greater than the pKa of the carboxylic acid group ( mean for the 20 common amino acids is about 2. 2, see the table of amino acid structures above ), the negative carboxylate ion predominates.

A common example is nitric acid produced by electric discharge in the atmosphere such as lightning.

The most common nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid and ribonucleic acid.

The most common nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid ( DNA ) and ribonucleic acid ( RNA ).

Proteins with the same three-dimensional structure need not have identical amino acid sequences ; any irrelevant similarity between the sequences is evidence for common descent.

Thus, if two species use the same codon at the same place to specify an amino acid that can be represented by more than one codon, that is evidence for a recent common ancestor.

The most common motifs in the amino acid sequence of collagen are Glycine-Proline-X and Glycine-X-Hydroxyproline, where X is any amino acid other than glycine, proline or hydroxyproline.

They are the most common type of organic acid.

* Alginic acid: It is a common polysaccharide in the cell walls of brown algae.

Another common variation was to distil in the presence of sulphuric acid.

For example, the most common hemoglobin sequences in humans and chimpanzees are nearly identical, differing by only one amino acid in both the alpha and the beta globin protein chains.

In adult humans, the most common hemoglobin type is a tetramer ( which contains 4 subunit proteins ) called hemoglobin A, consisting of two α and two β subunits non-covalently bound, each made of 141 and 146 amino acid residues, respectively.

A common kind of hydrolysis occurs when a salt of a weak acid or weak base ( or both ) is dissolved in water.

Representative ketones, from the left: acetone, a common solvent ; Oxaloacetic acid | oxaloacetate, an intermediate in the Krebs Cycle | metabolism of sugars ; acetylacetone in its ( mono ) enol form ( the enol highlighted in blue ); cyclohexanone, precursor to Nylon ; muscone, an animal scent ; and tetracycline, an antibiotic.

β-Ketoglutaric acid varies only by the position of the ketone functional group, and is much less common.

Sphingolipids are a complicated family of compounds that share a common structural feature, a sphingoid base backbone that is synthesized de novo from the amino acid serine and a long-chain fatty acyl CoA, then converted into ceramides, phosphosphingolipids, glycosphingolipids and other compounds.

In recent years, studies have been made of the amino acid composition of the products of " old " areas in " old " genes, defined as those that are found to be common to organisms from several widely separated species, assumed to share only the last universal ancestor ( LUA ) of all extant species.

Structural elements of the most common nucleic acid constituents.

Pyrimidines are synthesized first from aspartate and carbamoyl-phosphate in the cytoplasm to the common precursor ring structure orotic acid, onto which a phosphorylated ribosyl unit is covalently linked.

Carboxylic acid groups (− CO < sub > 2 </ sub > H ) can be deprotonated to become negative carboxylates (− CO < sub > 2 </ sub >< sup >−</ sup > ), and α-amino groups ( NH < sub > 2 </ sub >−) can be protonated to become positive α-ammonium groups (< sup >+</ sup > NH < sub > 3 </ sub >−).

Below pH 2. 2, the predominant form will have a neutral carboxylic acid group and a positive α-ammonium ion ( net charge + 1 ), and above pH 9. 4, a negative carboxylate and neutral α-amino group ( net charge − 1 ).

The nanoparticles, containing a sub-layer of pH sensitive chains of the amino acid histidine, carry a slightly negative charge when circulating in the blood stream, can evade detection and clearing by the immune system.

)</ ref >< ref name = Socolow2011 > To the extent that carbon neutral fuels displace fossil fuels, or if they are produced from waste carbon or seawater carbonic acid, and their combustion is subject to carbon capture at the flue or exhaust pipe, they result in negative carbon dioxide emission and net carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere, and thus constitute a form of greenhouse gas remediation .< ref name = Goeppert2012 > ( Review.

A phosphate group can be attached to the sidechain hydroxyl group of serine, threonine and tyrosine residues, adding a negative charge at that site and producing an unnatural amino acid.

An example of a negative azeotrope is hydrochloric acid at a concentration of 20. 2 % and 79. 8 % water ( by weight ).

Talbot's original contributions included the concept of a negative from which many positive prints can be made ( although the terms negative and positive were coined by Herschel ), and the use of gallic acid for developing the latent image.

The calotype was a refinement of his earlier photogenic drawing process in the use of a developing agent ( gallic acid and silver nitrate ) to bring out a latent negative image on the exposed paper.

Bulimia also has negative effects on the sufferer's dental health due to the acid passed through the mouth from frequent vomiting causing acid erosion, mainly on the posterior dental surface.

The first step is to create a metal plate out of the negative of our initial image through an exposition process ( followed by an acid bath ).

If colour negative film is processed in conventional black and white developer, and fixed and then bleached with a bath containing hydrochloric acid and potassium dichromate solution, the resultant film, once exposed to light, can be redeveloped in colour developer to produce an unusual pastel colour effect.

Nucleic acid molecules which are to be analyzed are set upon a viscous medium, the gel, where an electric field induces the nucleic acids to migrate toward the anode, due to the net negative charge of the sugar-phosphate backbone of the nucleic acid chain.

Mong Kok got a lot of negative media attention when it was hit by a number of acid attacks on Sai Yeung Choi Street from December 2008 through January 2010.

Car manuals recommend connecting the negative ( black ) cable last and disconnecting it first, since charging may produce hydrogen gas, which could explode if there is a spark ; if this ruptured the battery casing, it would then spray Sulfuric acid, possibly over the person performing the jump start ( see acid burn for consequences ).

Each amino acid in the chain is polar, i. e. it has separated positive and negative charged regions with a free C = O group, which can act as hydrogen bond acceptor and an NH group, which can act as hydrogen bond donor.

Gaps are allowed during matching and a gap penalty is included in this case as a negative score when no amino acid is matched.

The negative image is removed by bleaching with a solution of potassium permanganate or potassium dichromate in dilute sulfuric acid, which is removed by washing and a clearing bath containing sodium metabisulfite or potassium metabisulfite.
