In science and medicine:
- Kinetics (physics)Kinetics (physics)In physics and engineering, kinetics is a term for the branch of classical mechanics that is concerned with the relationship between the motion of bodies and its causes, namely forces and torques...
, the study of motion and its causes- Rigid body kinetics, the study of the motion of rigid bodies
- Chemical kineticsChemical kineticsChemical kinetics, also known as reaction kinetics, is the study of rates of chemical processes. Chemical kinetics includes investigations of how different experimental conditions can influence the speed of a chemical reaction and yield information about the reaction's mechanism and transition...
, the study of chemical reaction rates- Enzyme kineticsEnzyme kineticsEnzyme kinetics is the study of the chemical reactions that are catalysed by enzymes. In enzyme kinetics, the reaction rate is measured and the effects of varying the conditions of the reaction investigated...
, the study of biochemical reaction rates catalysed by an enzyme- Michaelis–Menten kinetics, the widely accepted general model of enzyme kinetics
- Goldbeter-Koshland kineticsGoldbeter-Koshland kineticsThe Goldbeter-Koshland kinetics describe a steady-state solution for a 2-state biological system. In this system, the interconversion between these two states is performed by two enzymes with opposing effect. One example would be a protein Z that exists in a phosphorylated form ZP and in an...
- Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics
- Receptor-ligand kineticsReceptor-ligand kineticsIn biochemistry, receptor-ligand kinetics is a branch of chemical kinetics in which the kinetic species are defined by different non-covalent bindings and/or conformations of the molecules involved, which are denoted as receptor and ligand....
- Hill kinetics
- Enzyme kinetics
- PharmacokineticsPharmacokineticsPharmacokinetics, sometimes abbreviated as PK, is a branch of pharmacology dedicated to the determination of the fate of substances administered externally to a living organism...
, the study of the processes a substance undergoes in the human body, particularly the rates at which it is absorbed, distributed, metabolised and excreted- One compartment kineticsOne compartment kineticsRefer brahmankarOne-compartment kinetics for a chemical compound specifies that the uptake in the compartment is proportional to the concentration outside the compartment, and the elimination is proportional to the concentration inside the compartment...
- Flip-flop kineticsFlip-flop kineticsIn pharmacokinetics, flip-flop phenomenon happens when a drug is released at a sustained rate instead of immediate release, such as sustained-release formulation v.s. immediate-release formulation ....
, the pharmacokinetics of sustained-release or extended-release drug formulations - ToxicokineticsToxicokineticsToxicokinetics is the description of what rate a chemical will enter the body and what happens to it once it is in the body. It is an application of pharmacokinetics to determine the relationship between the systemic exposure of a compound in experimental animals and its toxicity...
, the branch of pharmacokinetics dealing with compounds that are toxic or can be administered in toxic doses
- One compartment kinetics
- Human kinetics or kinesiology, the study of human biomechanical movement
- C0t analysisCot analysisC0t analysis, also known as DNA reassociation kinetics, is a biochemical technique that measures how much repetitive DNA is in a genome. It is used to study genome structure and organization and has also been used to simplify the sequencing of genomes that contain large amounts of repetitive...
, also known as DNA recombination kinetics
