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: Things which extend into those instead of just having a constant fixed position in said new spatial dimension are also not going to somehow stop being subject to time, unless the laws of physics privilege it somehow, which would be really weird.

gollark: For one thing, if you add extra spatial dimensions to our universe on top of the existing 3, it isn't suddenly going to gain multiverses or something; ignoring all the complex physics things I'm not aware of which are probably sensitive to this, it will just be another direction in which you can move, perpendicular to the other 3.

gollark: I think your understanding of how spatial dimensions work is inaccurate.
