  2. Chemical synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_synthesis

    Chemical synthesis (chemical combination) is the artificial execution of chemical reactions to obtain one or several products. [1] This occurs by physical and chemical manipulations usually involving one or more reactions. In modern laboratory uses, the process is reproducible and reliable. A chemical synthesis involves one or more compounds ...

  3. Synthetic language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_language

    Linguistic typology. A synthetic language is a language that is statistically characterized by a higher morpheme-to-word ratio. Rule-wise, a synthetic language is characterized by denoting syntactic relationship between the words via inflection and agglutination, dividing them into fusional or agglutinating subtypes of word synthesis.

  4. Total synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_synthesis

    Total synthesis is the complete chemical synthesis of a complex molecule, often a natural product, from simple, commercially-available precursors. [1][2][3][4] It usually refers to a process not involving the aid of biological processes, which distinguishes it from semisynthesis. Syntheses may sometimes conclude at a precursor with further ...

  5. Synthetic biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_biology

    Here are a few examples: It is the science of emerging genetic and physical engineering to produce new (and, therefore, synthetic) life forms. To develop organisms with novel or enhanced characteristics, this emerging field of study combines biology, engineering, and related disciplines' knowledge and techniques to design chemically synthesised ...

  6. Organic synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_synthesis

    Organic synthesis is a branch of chemical synthesis concerned with the construction of organic compounds. Organic compounds are molecules consisting of combinations of covalently-linked hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen atoms. Within the general subject of organic synthesis, there are many different types of synthetic routes that can be ...

  7. Polysynthetic language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polysynthetic_language

    The word "polysynthesis" is composed of the Greek roots poly meaning "many" and synthesis meaning "placing together". In linguistics a word is defined as a unit of meaning that can stand alone in a sentence, and which can be uttered in isolation.

  8. Synthon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthon

    Synthon. In retrosynthetic analysis, a synthon is a hypothetical unit within a target molecule that represents a potential starting reagent in the retroactive synthesis of that target molecule. The term was coined in 1967 by E. J. Corey. [1]

  9. Biosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosynthesis

    Examples of biosynthetic pathways include those for the production of amino acids, lipid membrane components, and nucleotides, but also for the production of all classes of biological macromolecules, and of acetyl-coenzyme A, adenosine triphosphate, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and other key intermediate and transactional molecules needed ...
