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:
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.
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.
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.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite  Any fungal metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in Baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae ).
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).
Escherichia coli metabolite  Any bacterial metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in Escherichia coli.
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).
