Adenosine is a nucleoside comprised of adenine attached to a ribose (ribofuranose) moiety via a -N9-glycosidic bond. Deoxyadenosine monophosphate is a derivative of the common nucleic acid ATP or adenosine triphosphate in which the -OH (hydroxyl) group on the 2' carbon on the nucleotide's pentose has been removed (hence the deoxy- part of the name).

Triethoxycaprylylsilane is an organically modified silane that has been found to aggregate in the form of normal micelles as well as reverse micelles.

(Met(O)27)-Glucagon (1-29) (human, rat, porcine) is a modified glucagon. (Met(O)27)-Glucagon (1-29) (human, rat, porcine) has the same maximum glucose-synthesizing activity in rat hepatocytes as native glucagon, but it is less potent, suggesting a crucial role of methionine in the binding of glucagon to its hepatic receptor.
