Acad. Sci. XLIV. 167 Squalene synthesis from branched-chain subunits will be treated as a two stage process, namely (a) the condensation of three ‘isoprenoid’ units to a sesquiterpene (C15) [etc.]. 1965New Scientist 24 June 867/2 The branched-chain compounds called isoprenoids, which have a branch every fourth carbon atom. 1971Nature 24 Dec. 449/1 Pristane (2,6,10,14-tetramethylpentadecane) and phytane (2,6,10,14-tetramethylhexadecane), isoprenoid hydrocarbons, which probably arise from diagenetic degradation of algal chlorophylls, were present [in the sediment] in trace amounts. 1972Science 9 June 1121/2 After 2 years, isoprenoids..and alicyclic and aromatic hydrocarbons remained prominent in the polluted sediments. |
