| 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) |
| 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) |
| developmental biology | <study> The study of how a multicellular organism develops from its early immature forms (zygote, larva, embryo, etc.) into an adult. (09 Oct 1997) |
| oral biology | That aspect of biology devoted to the study of biological phenomena associated with the oral cavity in health and disease (e.g., dental caries, mastication, periodontal disease). (05 Mar 2000) |
| electro-biology | 1. <biology> That branch of biology which treats of the electrical phenomena of living organisms. 2. <physics> That phase of mesmerism or animal magnetism, the phenomena of which are supposed to be produced by a form of electricity. (03 Mar 1998) |
| relative molecular mass | The sum of the atomic weight's of all the atoms constituting a molecule; the mass of a molecule relative to the mass of a standard atom, now 12C (taken as 12.000). Relative molecular mass (Mr) is the mass relative to the dalton and has no units. See: atomic weight. Synonym: molecular mass, molecular weight ratio, relative molecular mass. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gram-molecular weight | Molecular weight expressed in grams. Compare: mole. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cloning, molecular | The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| models, molecular | Models used experimentally or theoretically to study molecular shape, electronic properties, or interactions; includes analogous molecules, computer-generated graphics, and mechanical structures. (12 Dec 1998) |
