| 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) |
