D008928	Mitochondria	Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Each mitochondrion is surrounded by a double limiting membrane. The inner membrane is highly invaginated, and its projections are called cristae. Mitochondria are the sites of the reactions of oxidative phosphorylation, which result in the formation of ATP. They contain distinctive RIBOSOMES, transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER); AMINO ACYL T RNA SYNTHETASES; and elongation and termination factors. Mitochondria depend upon genes within the nucleus of the cells in which they reside for many essential messenger RNAs (RNA, MESSENGER). Mitochondria are believed to have arisen from aerobic bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with primitive protoeukaryotes.

D010766	Phosphorylation	The introduction of a phosphoryl group into a compound through the formation of an ester bond between the compound and a phosphorus moiety.	Phosphorylations
D004112	Dimercaprol	An anti-gas warfare agent that is effective against Lewisite (dichloro(2-chlorovinyl)arsine) and formerly known as British Anti-Lewisite or BAL. It acts as a chelating agent and is used in the treatment of arsenic, gold, and other heavy metal poisoning.	2,3-Dimercaptopropanol,2,3-Dithiopropan-1-o1,B.A.L.,BAL in Oil,British Anti-Lewisite,British Anti-Lewisite Agent,Cadmium 2,3-Dimercaptopropanol,Dicaptol,2,3 Dimercaptopropanol,2,3 Dithiopropan 1 o1,2,3-Dimercaptopropanol, Cadmium,Anti-Lewisite Agent, British,Anti-Lewisite, British,British Anti Lewisite,British Anti Lewisite Agent,Cadmium 2,3 Dimercaptopropanol,Oil, BAL in,in Oil, BAL

D001151	Arsenic	A shiny gray element with atomic symbol As, atomic number 33, and atomic weight 75. It occurs throughout the universe, mostly in the form of metallic arsenides. Most forms are toxic. According to the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985), arsenic and certain arsenic compounds have been listed as known carcinogens. (From Merck Index, 11th ed)	Arsenic-75,Arsenic 75
D018053	Arsenites	Inorganic salts or organic esters of arsenious acid.
