| structural gene | A gene that codes for a product (e.g. An enzyme, structural protein, tRNA), as opposed to a gene that serves a regulatory role. (18 Nov 1997) |

| structural interface | In dentistry, a boundary between tooth and restorative material. (05 Mar 2000) |
| structural isomerism | Isomerism involving the same atoms in different arrangements; e.g., butyric acids, leucine and isoleucine, glucose and fructose. (05 Mar 2000) |
| structural isomers | <chemistry> Are organic compounds that have the same som formula, meaning the same number of carbons, hydrogens or other type ot atoms. They differ from each other in the way the atoms are connected. Examples are n-butane and 2-methylpropane or ethanol and dimethylether. (09 Jan 1998) |
| antibodies, fungal | Immunoglobulins induced by substances elaborated by fungi that have an antigenic activity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| antigens, fungal | Substances of fungal origin that have antigenic activity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gene expression regulation, fungal | Any of the processes by which nuclear, cytoplasmic, or intercellular factors influence the differential control of gene action in fungi. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genome, fungal | The complete gene complement contained in a set of chromosomes in a fungus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| meningitis, fungal | Meningitis caused by species of fungi. (12 Dec 1998) |
| RNA, fungal | Ribonucleic acid in fungi having regulatory and catalytic roles as well as involvement in protein synthesis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chromosomes, fungal | Structures within the nucleus of fungal cells consisting of or containing DNA, which carry genetic information essential to the cell. (12 Dec 1998) |
| spores, fungal | Reproductive bodies produced by fungi. (12 Dec 1998) |
| nail infection, fungal | The most common fungus infection of the nails is onychomycosis. Onychomycosis makes the nails look white and opaque, thickened, and brittle. Older women (perhaps because oestrogen deficiency may increase the risk of infection). And men and women with diabetes or disease of the small blood vessels (peripheral vacscular disease) are at increased risk. Artificial nails (acrylic or wraps ) increase the risk because when an artificial nail is applied, the nail surface is usually abraded with an emery board damaging it, emery boards can carry infection, and. Water can collect under the nail creating a moist, warm environment for fungal growth. Alternative names include tinea unguium and ringworm of the nails. (12 Dec 1998) |
| DNA, fungal | Deoxyribonucleic acid that makes up the genetic material of fungi. (12 Dec 1998) |
| eye infections, fungal | Infection by a variety of fungi, usually through four possible mechanisms: superficial infection producing conjunctivitis, keratitis, or lacrimal obstruction; extension of infection from neighboring structures - skin, paranasal sinuses, nasopharynx; direct introduction during surgery or accidental penetrating trauma; or via the blood or lymphatic routes in patients with underlying mycoses.
