Synthesis

Synthesis or synthesize may refer to:

== Science == === Chemistry and biochemistry === Chemical synthesis, the execution of chemical reactions to form a more complex molecule from chemical precursors Organic synthesis, the chemical synthesis of organic compounds Total synthesis, the complete organic synthesis of complex organic compounds, usually without the aid of biological processes Convergent synthesis or linear synthesis, a strategy to improve the efficiency of multi-step chemical syntheses Dehydration synthesis, a chemical synthesis resulting in the loss of a water molecule Biosynthesis, the creation of an organic compound in a living organism, usually aided by enzymes Photosynthesis, a biochemical reaction using a carbon molecule to produce an organic molecule, using sunlight as a catalyst Chemosynthesis, the synthesis of biological compounds into organic waste, using methane or an oxidized molecule as a catalyst Amino acid synthesis, the synthesis of an amino acid from its constituents Peptide synthesis, the biochemical synthesis of peptides using amino acids Protein biosynthesis, the multi-step biochemical synthesis of proteins (long peptides) DNA synthesis, several biochemical processes for making DNA DNA replication, DNA biosynthesis in vivo Synthesis (cell cycle) RNA synthesis, the synthesis of RNA from nucleic acids, using another nucleic acid chain as a template ATP synthesis, the biochemical synthesis of ATP
