| protein synthesis inhibitor | Compounds which inhibit the synthesis of proteins. They are usually antibiotics or toxins. Mechanism of the action of inhibition includes the interruption of peptide-chain elongation, the blocking the the a site of ribosomes, the misreading of the genetic code or the prevention of the attachment of oligosaccharide side chains to glycoproteins. (12 Dec 1998) |

| nucleic acid synthesis inhibitors | Compounds that inhibit cell production of DNA or RNA. (12 Dec 1998) |
| synthesis | 1. <biochemistry, chemistry> The artificial building up of a chemical compound, by the union of its elements or from other suitable starting materials. 2. <psychiatry> The integration of the various elements of the personality, the opposite of analysis. Origin: Gr. = a putting together, composition (19 Jan 1998) |
| synthesis of continuity | Healing of the edges of a wound or fracture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| synthesis period | The period of the cell cycle when there is synthesis of DNA and histone; it occurs between Gap1 and Gap2. Synonym: S phase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| DNA synthesis | <molecular biology> The linking together of nucleotides (as deoxyribonucleotide triphosphates) to form DNA. In vivo, most synthesis is DNA replication, but incorporation of precursors also occurs in repair. In the special case of retroviruses, DNA synthesis is directed by an RNA template (see reverse transcriptase). (18 Nov 1997) |
| enzymatic synthesis | Synthesis by enzymes. See: biosynthesis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Kiliani-Fischer synthesis | A synthetic procedure for the extension of the carbon atom chain of aldoses by treatment with cyanide; hydrolysis of the cyanohydrins followed by reduction of the lactone yields the homologous aldose; with this method, d-glucose and d-mannose can be synthesised from d-arabinose. (05 Mar 2000) |
| unscheduled DNA synthesis | <cell biology, molecular biology> Any synthesis of DNA that happens ouside the S phase of the cell cycle. (13 Nov 1997) |
| anatomical pathology | The subspecialty of pathology that pertains to the gross and microscopic study of organs and tissues removed for biopsy or during postmortem examination, and also the interpretation of the results of such study. Synonym: pathological anatomy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pathology | <study> The branch of medicine concerned with disease, especially its structure and its functional effects on the body. (16 Dec 1997) |
| pathology, clinical | A subspecialty of pathology which deals with the laboratory analysis of specimens of human blood and other fluids. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pathology department, hospital | Hospital department which administers and provides pathology services. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pathology, oral | A dental specialty concerned with pathology of the oral cavity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pathology, surgical | A field of anatomical pathology in which living tissue is surgically removed for the purpose of diagnosis and treatment. (12 Dec 1998) |
