Interacting selectively with adenyl nucleotides, any compound consisting of adenosine esterified with (ortho)phosphate.

Any process that activates or increases the rate of the chemical reactions involving lipids.

Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of cellular defense response.

The process by which double-stranded RNAs silence cognate genes. Involves posttranscriptional gene inactivation ('silencing') both of transgenes or dsRNA introduced into a germline, and of the host gene(s) homologous to the transgenes or dsRNA. This silencing is triggered by the introduction of transgenes or double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), and occurs through a specific decrease in the level of mRNA of both host genes and transgenes.

Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the rate of mitosis.

The chemical reactions involving any amino sugar, sugars containing an amino group in place of a hydroxyl group.

The chemical reactions involving a polyol, any polyhydric alcohol.

The chemical reactions involving glucosamine (2-amino-2-deoxyglucopyranose), an aminodeoxysugar that occurs in combined form in chitin.

The chemical reactions involving carboxylic acids, any organic acid containing one or more carboxyl (COOH) groups or anions (COO-).

The formation from simpler components of glucosamine (2-amino-2-deoxyglucopyranose), an aminodeoxysugar that occurs in combined form in chitin.

The breakdown into simpler components of glucosamine (2-amino-2-deoxyglucopyranose), an aminodeoxysugar that occurs in combined form in chitin.

Catalysis of the degradation of double-stranded DNA. It acts progressively in a 3' to 5' direction, releasing 5'-phosphomononucleotides.

The breakdown into simpler components of compounds containing a single carbon atom.

The chemical reactions involving N-acetylglucosamine. The D isomer is a common structural unit of glycoproteins in plants, bacteria and animals; it is often the terminal sugar of an oligosaccharide moiety of a glycoprotein.
