What's the difference between chemistry and zoochemistry?

Chemistry


Definition:

  • (n.) That branch of science which treats of the composition of substances, and of the changes which they undergo in consequence of alterations in the constitution of the molecules, which depend upon variations of the number, kind, or mode of arrangement, of the constituent atoms. These atoms are not assumed to be indivisible, but merely the finest grade of subdivision hitherto attained. Chemistry deals with the changes in the composition and constitution of molecules. See Atom, Molecule.
  • (n.) An application of chemical theory and method to the consideration of some particular subject; as, the chemistry of iron; the chemistry of indigo.
  • (n.) A treatise on chemistry.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) It may be due to relative nonreactivity of ascorbic acid free radical that free radical chain reactions, found commonly in radical chemistry, do not occur in the scavenging reaction by ascorbic acid.
  • (2) We have determined by protein chemistry methods the amino acid sequence of light chain 2 from Acanthamoeba castellanii myosin-II (ALC2).
  • (3) Reduced mineral absorption is fairly well documented and has sound theoretical support from basic chemistry.
  • (4) The chemistry involved reaction rate constant measurements of MSF hydrolysis and for reactions with phenolic, amine, oxime, hydroxamic acid, phenyl N-hydroxycarbamate, and hydroxylamine compounds and cupric imidazole and bipyridyl complexes.
  • (5) We support the view that catalysis by metalloenzymes may be a reflection of the chemistry of the metal ion itself as a Lewis acid, and that perhaps too much emphasis has been placed on supposed special characteristics (such as strains, "entasis") of the enzyme-metal ion association.
  • (6) Ion cyclotron resonance spectroscopy yields information on many aspects of ion-molecule chemistry.
  • (7) --The frequency of common clinical manifestations (eg, headache, fever, and rash) and laboratory findings (eg, leukocyte and platelet counts and serum chemistry abnormalities) of patients with infectious diseases was tabulated.
  • (8) The reason we have postulated that one-electron oxidation plays an important role in the activation of PAH derives from certain common characteristics of the radical cation chemistry of the most potent carcinogenic PAH.
  • (9) The fact that sulfinate salts show activity, both ip and po, suggests that the -SO2Na moiety deserves more attention in medicinal chemistry.
  • (10) Overall adverse reactions were more frequent with the high dose group especially with respect to blood chemistry and gastrointestinal reactions.
  • (11) There were no significant effects on the haematology, serum chemistry and urinalysis and no compound-related effects on survival.
  • (12) In a report published online by the journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics , experts from Europe and the US estimated that the quantity of the radioactive isotope caesium-137 released at the height of the crisis was equivalent to 42% of that from Chernobyl.
  • (13) Physiological chemistry stayed a part of physiology until 1939 when the Institute of Physiological Chemistry was finally founded.
  • (14) Organosilicon chemistry is easily understood because a few generalizations allow us to compare it with the chemistry of carbon, hydrogen and the metals.
  • (15) Unfortunately, few reflections concern the definition of this criterion, which often is little discussed in the other divisions of the pure and applied chemistry.

Zoochemistry


Definition:

  • (n.) Animal chemistry; particularly, the description of the chemical compounds entering into the composition of the animal body, in distinction from biochemistry.
