Epoxide: An epoxide is a cyclic ether with only three ring atoms. The simplest epoxide is ethylene oxide, also known as oxirane, which is regarded as the "parent" compound. Thus, members of the class of epoxides are also called oxiranes. Epoxides ... [100%] 2023-02-04
Epoxide: An epoxide is a cyclic ether with a three-atom ring. This ring approximates an equilateral triangle, which makes it strained, and hence highly reactive, more so than other ethers. (Chemistry) [100%] 2022-05-08 [Epoxides] [Functional groups]...
Epoxide hydrolase: Epoxide hydrolases (EH's), also known as epoxide hydratases, are enzymes that metabolize compounds that contain an epoxide residue; they convert this residue to two hydroxyl residues through a dihydroxylation reaction to form diol products. Several enzymes possess EH activity. [70%] 2023-04-25 [EC 3.3.2] [Metabolism]...
Epoxide hydrolase 2: Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) is a bifunctional enzyme that in humans is encoded by the EPHX2 gene. sEH is a member of the epoxide hydrolase family. (Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens) [57%] 2022-05-15 [EC 3.1.3] [EC 3.3.2]...
