supertype: organic_compound__organiccompound any compound of carbon and another element or a radical
subtype: banana_oil a liquid ester derived from amyl alcohol; has the odor of bananas
subtype: cellulose_ester__celluloseester any ester of cellulose with an acid
subtype: cellulose_nitrate__cellulosenitrate__nitrocellulose__guncotton__nitrocotton nitric acid esters; used in lacquers and explosives
subtype: pyrocellulose nitrocellulose containing less nitrogen than guncotton; used in making smokeless powder
subtype: pyroxylin__pyroxyline highly flammable nitrocellulose used in making collodion and plastics and lacquers
subtype: cellulose_acetate__celluloseacetate an ester of acetic acid; used in fibers and fabrics; photographic films and varnishes
subtype: cellulose_triacetate__cellulosetriacetate__triacetate slow-burning; used instead of celluloid for motion-picture film
subtype: cellulose_xanthate__cellulosexanthate__viscose a cellulose ester obtained by treating cellulose with caustic soda
subtype: cyclohexanol_phthalate the cyclohexanol ester of phthalic acid
subtype: ethyl_acetate__ethylacetate a fragrant colorless flammable volatile liquid ester made from ethanol and acetic acid; used in flavorings and perfumes and as a solvent for plastics
subtype: glyceryl_ester an ester of glycerol
subtype: butyrin any of three glycerides of butyric acid
subtype: tributyrin a bitter oily triglyceride of butyric acid; a form of butyrin
subtype: glyceride__acylglycerol an ester of glycerol and fatty acids that occurs naturally as fats and fatty oils; "fresh fats contain glycerides of fatty acids and very little free acid"

subtype: margarin__glycerol_trimargarate a glyceryl ester of margaric acid
subtype: triolein__olein a naturally occuring glyceride of oleic acid that is found in fats and oils
subtype: tripalmitin__glycerol_tripalmitate a triglyceride of palmitic acid
subtype: tristearin__glycerol_tristearate a triglyceride of stearic acid
subtype: maleate a salt or ester of maleic acid; used as a nontricyclic antidepressant drug for psychomotor activation
subtype: nucleotide a phosphoric ester of a nucleoside; the basic structural unit of nucleic acids (DNA or RNA)
subtype: adenosine_monophosphate__adenosinemonophosphate__AMP__adenylic_acid a nucleotide found in muscle cells and important in metabolism; reversibly convertible to ADP and ATP
subtype: adenosine_diphosphate__adenosinediphosphate__ADP an ester of adenosine that is converted to ATP for energy storage
subtype: adenosine_triphosphate__adenosinetriphosphate__ATP a nucleotide derived from adenosine that occurs in muscle tissue; the major source of energy for cellular reactions
subtype: muton the smallest unit of DNA where a mutation can occur
subtype: polyester.ester a complex ester used for making fibers or resins or plastics or as a plasticizer
subtype: urethane an ester of carbamic acid
