Phosphomonoesters
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from 5'-phosphomonoesters)
Phosphomonoesters (or phosphoric esters) are chemical compounds containing one ester bond and a phosphate group.
In biology, phosphomonesters are needed as the building blocks for the synthesis of Phospholipid cellular membranes, especially those found on neurons. [1] Enzymes which cleave these bonds are known as phosphomonoesterases, or phosphatases. [2]
