| Center for the Application of Molecular Biology to International Agriculture | The Center for the Application of Molecular Biology to International Agriculture (CAMBIA) is a not-for-profit plant biotechnology research centre founded in 1992 and located in Canberra, Australia. (references) | ||
| Central dogma of molecular biology | The central dogma of molecular biology was first enunciated by Francis Crick in 1958 and re-stated in a Nature paper published in 1970. (references) | ||
| Electronic molecular Hamiltonian | The electronic molecular Hamiltonian is the term of the molecular Hamiltonian obtained when the molecular geometry is frozen. Within the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, the electronic Hamiltonian is said to depend adiabatically on the molecular geometry. Its discrete eigenvalues are called potential energy surfaces and the corresponding eigenstates the electronic states of the molecule. The electronic states are labelled according to their group representation and spin multiplicity. (references) | ||
| European Molecular Biology Laboratory | The European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) is a molecular biology research institution supported by 18 European countries. The EMBL was created in 1974 and has laboratories in Heidelberg, Germany; Hamburg, Germany; Grenoble, France; and Hinxton, UK, and an external Research Programme in Monterotondo, Italy.

| Institute for Molecular Bioscience | The Institute for Molecular Bioscience is a research center at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia. Opening in 2000 it is part of the Queensland Bioscience precinct, the largest of its kind in Australia. The centre is split into 4 main research areas Genomics and Computational Biology, Molecular Genetics and Development, Molecular Cell Biology, and Chemical and Structural Biology. (references) | ||
| Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology | The Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB) is an autonomous research institute of the Agency for Science, Technology and Research in Singapore. Its mission is "to develop and foster a vibrant research culture for biological and biomedical sciences which will support the development of biotechnology for the human healthcare industry in Singapore".

| International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science | The International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science was created in Menton in 1967, with Professors Raymond Daudel (France), Per-Olov Löwdin (Sweden), Robert G. Parr (USA), John A. Pople (USA) and Bernard Pullman (France) as its founding members, under the inspiration and with the support of Professor Louis de Broglie, Nobel Laureate and Perpetual Secretary of the French Academy of Sciences, Paris. The Academy was planned to have 25 (later 30, and presently 35) regular members under 65 years of age and may have an unlimited number of senior members. The members are chosen among the scientists of all countries who have distinguished themselves by the value of their scientific work, their role of pioneer or leader of a school in the broad field of quantum chemistry, i.e. the application of quantum mechanics to the study of molecules and macromolecules. The Academy has as its main goal to provide a forum for international contact and collaboration and a periodical evaluation of the main developments, advances and promising directions of research in the broad field of its interest.

| Linear combination of atomic orbitals molecular orbital method | A linear combination of atomic orbitals or LCAO is a superposition of atomic orbitals. In quantum mechanics, electron configurations of atoms are described as wavefunctions. In mathematical sense, these wave functions are the basis set of functions, the basis functions, which describe the electrons of a given atom. In chemical reactions, orbital wavefunctions are modified, i.e. the electron cloud shape is changed, according to the type of atoms participating in the chemical bond. (references) | ||
| Low molecular weight heparin | In medicine, low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) is a class of medication used as an anticoagulant in diseases that feature thrombosis, as well as for prophylaxis in situations that lead to a high risk of thrombosis. (references) | ||
