Roles Classification
Chemical Roles:
electron acceptor  A substance to which an electron may be transferred.
oxidising agent  A substance that removes electrons from another reactant in a redox reaction.
Biological Roles:
teratogenic agent  A role played by a chemical compound in biological systems with adverse consequences in embryo developments, leading to birth defects, embryo death or altered development, growth retardation and functional defect.
mutagen  An agent that increases the frequency of mutations above the normal background level, usually by interacting directly with DNA and causing it damage, including base substitution.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite  Any fungal metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in Baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae ).
Escherichia coli metabolite  Any bacterial metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in Escherichia coli.
mouse metabolite  Any mammalian metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in a mouse (Mus musculus).
human metabolite  Any mammalian metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in humans (Homo sapiens).
EC 3.5.1.4 (amidase) inhibitor  An EC 3.5.1.* (non-peptide linear amide C-N hydrolase) inhibitor that interferes with the action of amidase (EC 3.5.1.4).
carcinogenic agent  A role played by a chemical compound which is known to induce a process of carcinogenesis by corrupting normal cellular pathways, leading to the acquistion of tumoral capabilities.
