Record 1 2012-02-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biological Sciences
DEF

A constituent enzyme of the TCA cycle found in mitochondria of all aerobic cells. It contains FAD as a prosthetic group and requires no separate coenzyme. The enzyme catalyzes the formation of fumaric acid from succinic acid, coupled to the reduction of FAD.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sciences biologiques
DEF

Enzyme catalysant la déshydrogénation du succinate en fumarate. Le système enzymatique le plus simple capable d'oxyder le succinate, en portant les hydrogènes sur un accepteur artificiel (phénazine-méthosulfate), a été isolé de membranes internes des mitochondries sous forme d'une ferroflavoprotéine à FAD et à fer non héminique.

CONT

L'inhibition compétitive existe pour tous les enzymes. Un analogue structural du substrat, non métabolisable, est en général un inhibiteur compétitif. On peut citer l'exemple de la succinodéshydrogénase, inhibée par divers analogues structuraux de l'acide succinique (qui n'en diffèrent que par le nombre de maillons -- CH2-- compris entre les 2 groupements carboxyliques).

OBS

"Succinodéhydrase" est un terme vieilli à éviter.

Record 7 1996-07-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plastics Manufacturing
CONT

Iso resins are prepared using blends of isophtalic acid and maleic anhydride or fumaric acids. Although higher in cost than the corresponding ortho resins, isophtalics are of higher quality, having better thermal resistance, mechanical properties, and chemical resistance. These resins are especially responsive to changes in glycols.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Plasturgie
CONT

Les résines iso- et orthophtaliques sont très largement les plus utilisées des résines polyester insaturées. Elles représentent 85 à 95 % de l'emploi des matrices thermodurcissables.

Ortho resins are prepared using blends of phtalic anhydride and maleic anhydride or fumaric acid. The original family of polyester resins, orthophtalics, is still widely used and continues to dominate in many applications, although these resins have limited thermal stability, chemical resistance, and processibility.
