(n.) A compound with, or derivative of, the imido group; specif., a compound of one or more acid radicals with the imido group, or with a monamine; hence, also, a derivative of ammonia, in which two atoms of hydrogen have been replaced by divalent basic or acid radicals; -- frequently used as a combining form; as, succinimide.
Example Sentences:

(8) This study also highlights the importance of internal cross-link formation, which can occur by intramolecular nucleophilic attack, a process that has often been overlooked by investigators employing carbodi-imide modification of carboxylate groups in proteins.
(9) A chemiluminescent aryl acridinium ester was synthesized which possesses an imidate ester group capable of reacting with proteins under mild conditions.
(10) The haem group was identified as a site of reaction with the carbodi-imide, and is as a consequence covalently linked to the peptide by a bond in addition to the thioether bonds normally present.
(11) Naphthylhydrazides and arylhydrazides, used as the labels, were incorporated via their imidate or their succinimide esters.
(12) Analysis of the mass spectra of many of these showed that three side reactions can occur: (1) methylation of the imide carbonyl group; (2) addition of methanol or water to the vinyl substituent; (3) transmethylation of the ethoxycarbonyl group.
(13) A water-soluble carbodi-imide [1-cyclohexyl-3-(2-morpholinoethyl)carbodi-imide methotoluene-p-sulphonate], referred to as carbodi-imide reagent, and glycine methyl ester were used to modify the free carboxyl groups of the membrane.
(14) Inhibitors of lysosomal acidification (4,4'-di-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulphonate, NN'-dicyclohexylcarbodi-imide, carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone, NH4Cl and methylamine hydrochloride) did not alter cystine egress or countertransport in polymorphonuclear-leucocyte lysosome-rich granular fractions at pH 7.0.
(15) It is concluded that dicyclohexylcarbodi-imide inhibits mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation by reacting covalently with a group on this chloroform-methanol-soluble protein.
(16) The structure of the pigment has been studied by chromate degradation followed by identification of the imide products by thin-layer chromatography.

(18) Their solution stability was shown to be compromised compared to 3-methylglutarimide (3-MG) and other imides.
(19) the cross-linked complexes can be split at the band originating from the imidate group by treatment with ammonia.
(20) An amide bond was first formed between the free carboxy group of the retinoid and a primary amino group of aminohexyl-Sepharose 4B, by reaction with carbodi-imide, and the ester group of the resin-bound retinoid was then hydrolysed in an alkaline medium.
Lactim
Definition:
(n.) One of a series of anhydrides resembling the lactams, but of an imido type; as, isatine is a lactim. Cf. Lactam.
Example Sentences:
(1) A possible solution to this potential problem by the use of the new Polysorb-Lactimer absorbable TA55 stapler is presented.
(2) By means of a molecular orbital method which considers all valence electrons, INDO, we have calculated several electronic indices and determined the major tautomers in the lactan-lactim tautomerism of alloxan in the liquid and gaseous states.
(3) With all other compounds no tautomeric forms other than the lactams could be detected, although small proportions of bilirubin must exist as the lactim.
(4) The compounds crystallize as the lactams, except for dimethoxybilirubin dimethyl ester and its phenylazo derivative, which are held in the lactim ether configuration.
(5) Correlating these with the NMR spectra in the -10 ppm to -11 ppm region allows us to conclude that the "GU pairs" are not hydrogen-bonded by tautomerization to the lactim form.
(6) studies also suggest that bilirubin dimethyl ester is in the lactam rather than the lactim form.
