| electronic potential | <chemistry, physiology> The measure (in volts) of electron pressure. A measure of the difference in electron concentrations between two compartments, such as either side of a cell membrane. (09 Oct 1997) |
| biology | <study> The scientific study of living organisms. (09 Oct 1997) |
| radiation biology | Field of science that studies the biological effects of ionizing radiation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cell biology | <study> The study of the internal workings of cells at the microscopic and molecular level - it is closely linked to molecular biology. (16 Dec 1997) |
| cellular biology | <study> The study of cells. Implies the use of light or electron microscopic methods for the study of morphology. (18 Nov 1997) |
| pharmaceutical biology | <pharmacology, study> A subfield of pharmacology which studies natural drugs, including the study of their biological and chemical components, botanical sources, and other characteristics (economic, biochemical, biological, etc.). (09 Oct 1997) |
| molecular biology | <study> The study of the biochemistry of cells, it is closely linked to cell biology, in particular the biochemistry of DNA and cogeners. (16 Dec 1997) |
| computational biology | A field of biology concerned with the development of techniques for the collection and manipulation of biological data, and the use of such data to make biological discoveries or predictions. This field encompasses all computational methods and theories applicable to molecular biology and areas of computer-based techniques for solving biological problems including manipulation of models and datasets. (12 Dec 1998) |
| structural biology | <study> The study of the three dimensional structures of biological molecules (such as proteins) and their mutual interactions as a means of understanding the functions of these molecules within the cell. (09 Oct 1997) |
