| molecular layer of cerebellar cortex | The outer lamina of the cortex, containing the cell bodies and dendrites of Purkinje cells, the axons of the granule cells, and the cell bodies, dendrites, and axons of basket cells. Synonym: stratum moleculare cerebelli, molecular layer of cerebellar cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |

| molecular layer of cerebral cortex | Layer 1 of the cortex cerebri. Synonym: plexiform layer of cerebral cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| molecular layer of retina | Name applied to each of the plexiform layers of the retina. Synonym: stratum moleculare retinae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| molecular layers of olfactory bulb | The layer's, composed mainly of nerve fibres, on the outer and inner sides of the layer of mitral cells of the bulb. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
| molecular mimicry | The process in which structural properties of an introduced molecule imitate or simulate molecules of the host. Direct mimicry of a molecule enables a viral protein to bind directly to a normal substrate as a substitute for the homologous normal ligand. Immunologic molecular mimicry generally refers to what can be described as antigenic mimicry and is defined by the properties of antibodies raised against various facets of epitopes on the viral protein.

| molecular modeling | <chemistry> The use of computers to create models of molecules. (14 Nov 1997) |
| molecular movement | Erratic, nondirectional, zigzag movement observed by ultramicroscope in certain colloidal solutions and by microscope in suspensions of light particulate matter that results from the jostling or bumping of the larger particles by the molecules in the suspending medium which are regarded as being in continuous motion. Synonym: brownian motion, brownian-Zsigmondy movement, molecular movement, pedesis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| molecular pathology | The study of biochemical and biophysical cellular mechanisms as the basic factors in disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| molecular probes | A group of atoms or molecules attached to other molecules or cellular structures and used in studying the properties of these molecules and structures. Radioactive DNA or RNA sequences are used in molecular genetics to detect the presence of a complementary sequence by molecular hybridization. (12 Dec 1998) |
| molecular probe techniques | The use of devices which use detector molecules to detect, investigate, or analyze other molecules, macromolecules, molecular aggregates, or organisms. (12 Dec 1998) |
| molecular sequence data | Descriptions of specific amino acid, carbohydrate, or nucleotide sequences which have appeared in the published literature and/or are deposited in and maintained by databanks such as genbank, european molecular biology laboratory (embl), national biomedical research foundation (nbrf), or other sequence repositories. (12 Dec 1998) |
| molecular sieve | A gel-like material with pore sizes of such ranges as to exclude molecules above certain sizes; used in fractionating or purifying macromolecules. (05 Mar 2000) |
| molecular structure | The location of the atoms, groups or ions relative to one another in a molecule, as well as the number and location of chemical bonds. (12 Dec 1998) |
