Smallcaps
In typography, small caps (short for "small capitals") are characters typeset with glyphs that resemble uppercase letters (capitals) but reduced in height and weight close to the surrounding lowercase letters or text figures. This is technically not a case-transformation, but a substitution of glyphs, although the effect is often approximated by case-transformation and scaling. Small caps are used in running text as a form of emphasis that is less dominant than all uppercase text, and as a method of emphasis or distinctiveness for text alongside or instead of italics, or when boldface is inappropriate. For example, the text "Text in small caps" appears as in small caps. Small caps can be used to draw attention to the opening phrase or line of a new section of text, or to provide an additional style in a dictionary entry where many parts must be typographically differentiated. Well-designed small capitals are not simply scaled-down versions of normal capitals; they normally ret ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
L-galactose 1-dehydrogenase
L-galactose 1-dehydrogenase (, ''L-GalDH'', ''L-galactose dehydrogenase'') is an enzyme with the systematic name ''L-galactose:NAD+ 1-oxidoreductase''. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction: : L-galactose + NAD+ \rightleftharpoons L-galactono-1,4-lactone + NADH + H+ The enzyme catalyses a step in the ascorbate biosynthesis in higher plant Vascular plants (), also called tracheophytes () or collectively Tracheophyta (), form a large group of land plants ( accepted known species) that have lignified tissues (the xylem) for conducting water and minerals throughout the plant. They a ...s. References External links * {{Portal bar, Biology, border=no EC 1.1.1 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
D-galactose 1-dehydrogenase
In enzymology, a -galactose 1-dehydrogenase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction :-galactose + NAD+ \rightleftharpoons -galactono-1,4-lactone + NADH + H+ Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are -galactose and NAD+, whereas its 3 products are -galactono-1,4-lactone, NADH, and H+. This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is -galactose:NAD+ 1-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include -galactose dehydrogenase, beta-galactose dehydrogenase, and NAD+-dependent -galactose dehydrogenase. This enzyme participates in galactose metabolism Galactose (, '' galacto-'' + ''-ose'', "milk sugar"), sometimes abbreviated Gal, is a monosaccharide sugar that is about as sweet as glucose, and about 65% as sweet as sucrose. It is an aldohexose and a C-4 epimer of glucose. A galactose mole .... References * * EC 1.1 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
