hydroxyl

Take away the pair strand, add a hydroxyl group and a uracil, and it’s a totally different thing.

If you look at desomorphine, it's just a morphine molecule without the bottom hydroxyl group and the double bond reduced.

One could suggest protonation of the hydroxyl group, elimination of water to form the carbocation, addition of the iodide ion(-).

The hydrogen bonds allow lots of interesting processes, and it gets used in many many foundational biological functions as hydroxyl groups.

It certainly would be a good bit easier to put that hydroxyl group back on than to strip it off in the first place....

And lightining does help make hydroxyl ions, which help convert airisol methane.

For Novamin alone, I've seen and understood the claims of sensitivity protection with hydroxyl-carbonate apatite (HCA).

TIL that Hydroxyl ions bind to methane and thereby clean the air?

It makes me wonder if it'd be quicker and easier to just buy meth and reintroduce the hydroxyl group to get my cold medicine.

You don't want to breath a continuous stream of hydroxyl radicals.

Enzymes can add hydroxyl groups to molecules in specific locations.

Acidification (the state of something becoming acidic) occurs when the pH drops below 7.0 and thus the ratio of hydrogen ions to hydroxyl ions > 1.

At high enough dose rates, the peak concentration of hydroxyl radicals and more stable radicals like superoxide could be much higher, leading to "nonlinear" effects, i.e.

No, that "water" is actually hydroxyl groups in minerals.

"…and easier to just buy meth and reintroduce the hydroxyl group to get my cold medicine." Damn stupid isn't it?

If you mix it with things it can react with, which likely includes both some waxes (those with hydroxyl groups) and some of the modified oils in “hardwax” oil, it will turn them into something akin to polyurethane.
