Molecular dynamics — (MD) is a computer simulation of physical movements of atoms and molecules. The atoms and molecules are allowed to interact for a period of time, giving a view of the motion of the atoms. In the most common version, the trajectories of molecules… … Wikipedia
Molecular graphics — (MG) is the discipline and philosophy of studying molecules and their properties through graphical representation.[1] IUPAC limits the definition to representations on a graphical display device .[2] Ever since Dalton s atoms and Kekulé s benzene … Wikipedia
Molecular gastronomy — includes the study of how different cooking temperatures affect eggs,[1][2] and their viscosity, their surface tension, and different ways of introducing air into them … Wikipedia
Molecular mimicry — is defined as the theoretical possibility that sequence similarities between foreign and self peptides are sufficient to result in the cross activation of autoreactive T or B cells by pathogen derived peptides. Despite the promiscuity of several… … Wikipedia
Molecular cloning — refers to a set of experimental methods in molecular biology that are used to assemble recombinant DNA molecules and to direct their replication within host organisms.[1] The use of the word cloning refers to the fact that the method involves the … Wikipedia
Molecular motor — Molecular motors are biological molecular machines that are the essential agents of movement in living organisms. Generally speaking, a motor may be defined as a device that consumes energy in one form and converts it into motion or mechanical… … Wikipedia
Transfer hydrogenation — is the addition of hydrogen (H2; dihydrogen in inorganic and organometallic chemistry) to a molecule from a source other than gaseous H2. It is applied in industry and in organic synthesis, in part because of the inconvenience and expense of… … Wikipedia
Transfer gene — Transfer operon, commonly called tra operon, or tra genes, are some of the genes necessary for non sexual transfer of genetic material in both gram positive and gram negative bacteria. The tra locus includes the pilin gene and regulatory genes,… … Wikipedia
Molecular autoionization — is a reaction between molecules of the same substance to produce ions and is created by semipolar bonds. The oxidation number on all atoms in such a reaction remains unchanged. Such autoionization can be protic (H+ transfer), or non protic. Some… … Wikipedia
Molecular modification — is chemical alteration of a known and previously characterized lead compound for the purpose of enhancing its usefulness as a drug. This could mean enhancing its specificity for a particular body target site, increasing its potency, improving its … Wikipedia
Molecular genetics — For a non technical introduction to the topic, see Introduction to genetics. Molecular genetics is the field of biology and genetics that studies the structure and function of genes at a molecular level. The field studies how the genes are… … Wikipedia
