Acyanotic heart defect
An acyanotic heart defect is any heart defect of a group of structural congenital heart defects, comprising approximately 75% of all congenital heart defects. It can be subdivided into two groups depending on whether there is shunting of the blood from the left vasculature to the right (left to righ..
Acyclic
Acyclic can refer to: aliphatic compound, an open hydrocarbon chaindirected acyclic graph, a graph which does not contain any path passing twice by the same nodea chain complex in which all homology groups are zero This is a [disambiguationdisambiguation] page: a list of articles associate..
Acyclic coloring
In graph theory, an acyclic coloring is a (proper) vertex coloring in which every 2-chromatic subgraph is acyclic. The acyclic chromatic number A(G) of a graph G is the least number of colors needed in any acyclic coloring of G. Some properties of A(G): A(G) ≤ 2 if and only if G is acyclic.A(G) ..
Acyclic deterministic finite automaton
Acyclic deterministic finite automata (ADFA) are deterministic finite automata without cycles. In other words, they can only represent finite sets of strings. They can be used as a data structure for word storage with extremely fast search performance. Minimized ADFA can be very compact as well. The..
Acyclic object
In mathematics, in the field of homological algebra, given an abelian category [\mathcal] having enough injectives and an additive (covariant) functor [F :\mathcal\to\mathcal], an acyclic object with respect to [F], or simply an [F]-acyclic object, is an ..

Acyl
In chemistry, the term acyl or acyl group refers to a functional group obtained from an acid by removal of a hydroxyl group. Most commonly, the acyl group is derived from a carboxylic acid. It therefore has the formula RC(=O)-, with a double bond between the carbon and oxygen atoms (thus forming a ..
Acylal
Acylals in organic chemistry are a group of chemical compounds sharing a functional group with the general structure R-C(OOCR)2. Acylals can be obtained by reaction of aldehydes with acetic anhydride and a suitable catalyst for instance with sulfated zirconia [#endnote_Negrón] at low tempe..
Acylation
In chemistry, acylation is the process of adding an acyl group to a compound. The compound providing the acyl group is called the acylating agent. Because they form a strong electrophile when treated with some metal catalysts, acyl halides are commonly used as acylating agents. For example, Friedel..
Acyloin
Acyloins are a class of organic compounds in organic chemistry sharing a common functional group consisting of a hydroxyl group placed on the α-position of a carbonyl group. Contents 1 Synthesis of acyloins1.1 Enolate oxidation by sulfonyloxaziridines2 Reactions of acyloins3 ..
Acyloin condensation
Acyloin condensation is a reductive coupling of two carboxylic esters using metallic sodium to yield an α-hydroxyketone, also known as an acyloin. The reaction is most successful when R is aliphatic and inert. To achieve the condensation, chemists may employ solvents with a high boiling poi..

Acyl Ahmat Agbas
Acyl Ahmat Agbas (1944 - 1982) was an Arab Chadian insurgent leader during the Chadian Civil War. Under the Tombalbaye Regime, Acyl had been a deputy for Batha in the National Assembly. In 1976 he passed to the insurgncy, entering in Libya in the small Arab-dominated Volcan Army. With the support o..
Acyl carrier protein
The acyl carrier protein (ACP) is an important component in both fatty acid and polyketide biosynthesis with the growing chain bound during synthesis as a thiol ester at the distal thiol of a 4'-phophopantethiene moiety. The protein is expressed in the inactive apo form and the 4'-phosphopantethein..
Acyl carrier protein synthase
Acyl carrier protein synthases (ACPS) are members of the family of phosphopantethienyl transferases responsible for the conversion of the inactive apo-Acyl carrier protein from fatty acid or polyketide biosynthesis into the active holo form through the post-translational addition of a 4'-phosphopant..
Acyl chloride
General chemical structure of an acyl chloride In organic chemistry, an acyl chloride (or acid chloride) is an organic compound which is a reactive derivative of a carboxylic acid. As part of its molecular structure, an acyl chloride has the reactive functional group -CO-Cl. An acyl chloride..
Acyl CoA dehydrogenase
Acyl CoA dehydrogenase is the enzyme used to catalyze the first step of β-oxidation in Fatty acid metabolism. The following reaction is the oxidation of the fatty acid by FAD. The enzyme catalyzes the formation of a double bond between the C-2 and C-3. The end product is trans-Δ2-enoyl-Co..
Acyl halide
frame In chemistry, the term acyl halide (also known as acid halide) refers to a compound derived from an acid by replacing a hydroxyl group with a halide group. If the acid is a carboxylic acid, the compound contains a -COX functional group, which consists of a carbonyl group singly bonded t..
Acyutah
In Hinduism, Acyutah is another name of Vishnu or God and appears as the 100th and 318th names in the Vishnu sahasranama. According to Adi Sankara's commentary on the Vishnu sahasranama, Acyutah means One who will never lose His inherent nature and powers (i.e one who is infallible). The name also ..
Acyuta Kamboja
The Pehova Prasati (panegyric) of the reign of king Mahendrapala of Kanauj (10th century AD) refers to one Acyuta Kamboja, the son of Vishnu Kamboja who has been described as a great Sanskrit scholar. This Acyuta Kamboja has been further styled as the personification of Vaidya Dhanavantri, the..
A (Cyrillic)
A (А, а) is the first letter of the Cyrillic alphabet. It arose directly from the Greek letter alpha. In the Early Cyrillic Alphabet its name was azǔ and it had a numerical value of one. In many languages that use Cyrillic, such as Russian, Serbian, Macedonian and Bulgarian, it is pronounced ..
