An SR group.

Male sex hormones.

The electronic structure of a solid, defining the allowed ranges of energy for electrons in a solid. (Section 12.7)

A galvanic cell, or a series of combined galvanic cells, that can be used as a source of direct electric current at a constant voltage. (18.6)

For proteins, a feature of secondary structure that forms when two or more protein chains line up side-by-side.

A derivative of a carboxylic acid in which H of the carboxyl group is replaced by a carbon.

A compound inwhich two carbon-carbon p bonds are separated from each other by exactly one s bond.
