Kinetics may refer to:

In science and medicine:
  • Kinetics (physics)
    Kinetics (physics)
    In physics and engineering, kinetics is a term for the branch of classical mechanics that is concerned with the relationship between the motion of bodies and its causes, namely forces and torques. Since the mid-20th century, the term "dynamics" has largely superseded "kinetics" in physics text...

    , the study of motion and its causes
    • Rigid body kinetics, the study of the motion of rigid bodies
  • Chemical kinetics
    Chemical kinetics
    Chemical kinetics, also known as reaction kinetics, is the study of rates of chemical processes. Chemical kinetics includes investigations of how different experimental conditions can influence the speed of a chemical reaction and yield information about the reaction's mechanism and transition...

    • Enzyme kinetics
      Enzyme kinetics
      Enzyme kinetics is the study of the chemical reactions that are catalysed by enzymes. In enzyme kinetics the reaction rate is measured and the effects of varying the conditions of the reaction investigated...

      , the study of biochemical reaction rates catalysed by an enzyme
      • Michaelis–Menten kinetics, the widely accepted general model of enzyme kinetics
      • Goldbeter-Koshland kinetics
        Goldbeter-Koshland kinetics
        The Goldbeter-Koshland kinetics describe a steady-state solution for a 2-state biological system. In this system, the interconversion between these two states is performed by two enzymes with opposing effect...

      • Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics
    • Receptor-ligand kinetics
      Receptor-ligand kinetics
      In biochemistry, receptor-ligand kinetics is 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 and ligand....

      • Hill kinetics
  • Pharmacokinetics
    Pharmacokinetics
    Pharmacokinetics is a branch of pharmacology dedicated to the determination of the fate of substances administered externally to a living organism...

    , the study of the processes a substance undergoes in the human body, particularly the rates at which it is absorbed, distributed, metabolised and excreted
    • One-compartment kinetics
      One compartment kinetics
      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
      Flip-flop kinetics
      In pharmacokinetics, flip-flop phenomenon happens when a drug is released at a sustained rate instead of immediate release, such as sustained-release formulation v.s. immediate-release formulation ....

      , the pharmacokinetics of sustained-release or extended-release drug formulations
    • Toxicokinetics
      Toxicokinetics
      Toxicokinetics is the description of what rate a chemical will enter the body and what happens to it once it is in the body. It is an application of pharmacokinetics to determine the relationship between the systemic exposure of a compound in experimental animals and its toxicity...

      , 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
