Methiodal
Methiodal (iodomethanesulfonic acid, Abrodil) is an iodinated organosulfonic acid whose sodium salt served as a water-soluble, high-osmolar X-ray contrast medium for urography, introduced around 1930-1931 and later withdrawn.
Methionine
Methionine (symbol Met) is an essential sulfur-containing amino acid obtained mainly from meat, fish, eggs, and dairy, needed to start every protein and to make the methyl donor S-adenosylmethionine.
Methionine adenosyltransferase I/III deficiency
Methionine adenosyltransferase I/III deficiency, also called Mudd's disease, is a rare inherited metabolic disorder in which MAT1A gene mutations raise blood methionine; most people are unaffected, but some develop neurological problems including brain demyelination.
Methionine aminopeptidase 2
Methionine aminopeptidase 2 (MetAP2), a dimetallohydrolase removing N-terminal methionine from proteins, is a drug target in angiogenesis, cancer, and obesity; inhibitors include fumagillin, TNP-470, beloranib, and M8891, none yet approved.
Methionine repressor MetJ
Methionine repressor MetJ, E. coli ribbon-helix-helix transcription factor (gene metJ, b3938); with corepressor SAM it represses the methionine regulon by binding 8-bp metbox DNA arrays.
Methionine Sulfoxide Reductase A
Methionine sulfoxide reductase A (MsrA, EC 1.8.4.11), an antioxidant enzyme reducing the S-epimer of methionine sulfoxide in free and protein-bound forms via a sulfenic acid intermediate, distinguished from the R-specific MsrB family.
Methionine sulfoximine
Methionine sulfoximine (MSO) is a non-proteinogenic amino acid and the first and most widely used inhibitor of glutamine synthetase, used experimentally and causing convulsions in animals.
Methionine synthase
Cobalamin-dependent methionine synthase (MetH, EC 2.1.1.13, human MTR) is a B12-dependent modular enzyme that methylates homocysteine using methyltetrahydrofolate via a cobalamin cofactor, with conformational switching between catalytic and flavodoxin/AdoMet reactivation cycles.
Methionine synthase MetE, archaeal
Archaeal cobalamin-independent methionine synthase (MetE, EC 2.1.1.14), e.g. from Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum; half-size, single-barrel form of MetE that methylates homocysteine without vitamin B12, with unusual methyl-donor behavior.
Methionyl-tRNA synthetase
Methionyl-tRNA synthetase (MetRS, EC 6.1.1.10) is the class I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase that charges L-methionine onto initiator and elongator tRNA(Met) for AUG decoding, with editing activity, cytosolic and mitochondrial isoenzymes, and bacterial MetRS as an antimicrobial drug target.
Methixene
Methixene (metixene, Tremaril, Trest) is a discontinued tertiary antimuscarinic anticholinergic, ATC N04AA03, C20H23NS, used for parkinsonism and GI spasm via muscarinic antagonism in the corpus striatum.
Methiye
Methiye (Arabic: medhiyye), from the Arabic root medh, "to praise," is praise poetry for sultans, religious figures, and places, central to classical Arabic, Persian, and Turkish literature.
Methocarbamol
Methocarbamol, sold as Robaxin, is a prescription skeletal muscle relaxant and CNS depressant, first approved in the United States in 1957, used for acute painful musculoskeletal conditions.
Method (computer programming)
In computer programming, a method is code associated with a class that is invoked on a specific object, which the body accesses as this or self.
Method acting
Method acting, or the Method, is Lee Strasberg's American adaptation of Stanislavski's System, built on affective memory, taught via the Group Theatre and Actors Studio, and distinct from Adler and Meisner techniques.

Method of analytic tableaux
The method of analytic tableaux, also called semantic tableaux, is a tree-shaped proof procedure for logic introduced by Evert Beth and Jaakko Hintikka in 1955, testing satisfiability by searching for counterexamples.
Method of averaging
The method of averaging, or Krylov–Bogoliubov–Mitropolski method, is a perturbation technique for differential equations with a small parameter and rapidly oscillating terms, replacing the exact equation by an averaged one.
Method of characteristics
The method of characteristics, also known as the Charpit method, solves first-order partial differential equations by reducing them to ordinary differential equations along characteristic curves.
