Moiety conservation

Moiety conservation is the conservation of a subgroup in a chemical species, which is cyclically transferred from one molecule to another.

Example

Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) is a subgroup that remains unchanged when it is phosphorylated to create adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and then unphosphorylated back to ADP forming a conserved cycle. Moiety-conserved cycles in nature exhibit unique network control features which can be elucidated using techniques such as metabolic control analysis.

gollark: *Seriously*?

gollark: Hmm, fun idea: I should actually be able to automatically make the assembler know about instructions given the information available in the definitions used by my machine code interpreter.

gollark: It's been known to, I mean. Not known to optimize bswap. Just known to.

gollark: MSVC has been known to.

gollark: Or some sort of other counter-desk armament.
