(chemistry, biology) A branch of biochemistry or biophysics in which the three-dimensional structures of biomolecules, such as proteins, DNA, or RNA, are obtained using X-ray crystallography or nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR).

The ability of a structure or component to resist breakage or excess deformation when subject to a load.

plural of structural science

(sciences) Any discipline that describes the general, universal structures of the real world.

plural of structural isomer

(chemistry) Any of various diagrammatic representations of the structure of a molecule that shows how its atoms are linked to each other, with what type of bonds, and the presence of any charges

Loss of the load-carrying capacity of a component or member within a structure or of the structure itself. Structural failure is initiated when the material in a structure is stressed to its strength limit, thus causing fracture or excessive deformations.

(computing, design) A design pattern that makes it easier to create relationships between entities.
