| In each case it was not possible unambiguously to align portions of the extreme amino and carboxyl termini of the sequences. |
| Under similar conditions the polysaccharides with carboxyl groups, such as alginic acid and polygalacturonic acid, also photodecomposed. |
| The carboxyl group can also be converted into an alcohol by reduction of the carbonyl carbon. |
| From this ensemble, the mean position of the side-chain amino group or the two carboxyl oxygens were determined. |
| In some such compounds, the hydrogen atom in the carboxyl group is neutralized by reaction with a base, to form the metal salt of the fatty acid. |
| To be fully active, osteocalcin must be saturated with carboxyl groups, and that's vitamin K's job. |
