The phrase "acidic group" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to chemistry, particularly when discussing functional groups in organic compounds that can donate protons (H+) in a solution.
Example: "The carboxylic acid contains an acidic group that contributes to its reactivity in biochemical processes."
Alternatives: "proton-donating group" or "acidic functional group".
The presence of the acidic group of the fatty acid is critical for inhibition, as no effect is observed with the corresponding fatty alcohol.
The acidic group on the fatty acid C6H is likely essential for its proposed protonophore effect.
One possible concern in this approach is the fact that the synthesis and handling of a catalyst containing a relatively strong acidic group together with the acid-labile acetal moiety might be a major limitation in relation to other chiral backbones.
This study as function of time and quantity of such compounds indicated that arginine (among three compounds) inhibits reactions most efficiently followed by cystine and aspartic acid due to presence of two basic group (–NH2) and one acidic group (>COOH).
For example, the preening gland of ducks secretes a fatty acid 10 carbons long with methyl (CH3) groups substituted for one of the hydrogens on carbons 2, 4, 6, and 8. Some bacteria produce fatty acids that have a methyl group on the carbon atom farthest from the acidic group or on the penultimate carbon.
Among them is Parker's Box, with this coolly acidic group exhibition.
Definite switching of the endotoxic or antagonistic activity was observed depending on the difference of the acidic groups (phosphoric acid or carboxylic acid) in the lipid A analogues.
The connective-tissue heteropolysaccharides contain acidic groups (uronic acids or sulfate groups) and can bind both water and inorganic metal ions.
The key to understanding cation binding to humic acids rests in the ability to quantify the acidic groups in the humic acids.
Oxidations with HNO3 originate materials with large amounts of surface acidic groups, mainly carboxylic acids and, to a smaller extent, lactones, anhydrides, and phenol groups [10, 13, 14].
Imine formation in the case of aspartic acid is quite difficult due to two acidic groups at both the side ends.
