Kinetics

Kinetics (κίνησις, movement or to move) may refer to:

Science and medicine

 * Kinetics (physics), the study of motion and its causes
 * Rigid body kinetics, the study of the motion of rigid bodies
 * Chemical kinetics, the study of chemical reaction rates
 * Enzyme kinetics, the study of biochemical reaction rates catalysed by an enzyme
 * Michaelis–Menten kinetics, the widely accepted general model of enzyme kinetics
 * Goldbeter–Koshland kinetics, describe a steady-state solution for a 2-state biological system
 * Langmuir–Hinshelwood kinetics
 * Receptor–ligand kinetics, 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(s) and ligand(s)
 * Hill kinetics
 * Pharmacokinetics, the study of the processes a substance undergoes in the animal body, particularly the rates at which it is absorbed, distributed, metabolised and excreted
 * One-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 kinetics, the pharmacokinetics of sustained-release or extended-release drug formulations
 * Toxicokinetics, the branch of pharmacokinetics dealing with compounds that are toxic or can be administered in toxic doses
 * Human kinetics or kinesiology, the study of human biomechanical movement
 * C0t analysis, also known as DNA recombination kinetics

Companies

 * Kinetics (company), a technology company
 * KinetX, an aerospace engineering company
 * ST Kinetics, a weaponry and specialty vehicle manufacturer
 * Color Kinetics, a former lighting company, now part of the Philips group of companies

Arts and entertainment
