Conformation
Encyclopedia
Conformation generally means structural arrangement and may refer to:
  • Carbohydrate conformation
    Carbohydrate conformation
    Carbohydrate conformation is the characteristic 3-dimensional shape of a carbohydrate. Conformations of monosaccharide and oligosaccharide heavily influence their reactivity and recognition by other molecules, which are essential to mammals and other organisms....

    , the three-dimensional shape of a carbohydrate
  • Chemical structure
    Chemical structure
    A chemical structure includes molecular geometry, electronic structure and crystal structure of molecules. Molecular geometry refers to the spatial arrangement of atoms in a molecule and the chemical bonds that hold the atoms together. Molecular geometry can range from the very simple, such as...

    , also called the chemical conformation, the spatial arrangement of atoms and chemical bonds in a molecule
  • Conformational isomerism
    Conformational isomerism
    In chemistry, conformational isomerism is a form of stereoisomerism in which the isomers can be interconverted exclusively by rotations about formally single bonds...

    , a form of stereoisomerism in which the isomers can be interconverted exclusively by rotations about formally single bonds.
  • Conformation activity relationship
    Conformation activity relationship
    Conformation-activity relationship is the relationship between the biological activity and the conformation or conformational changes of a biomolecule...

    , the relationship between the biological activity and the conformation or conformational changes of a biomolecule
  • Conformation shows, dog shows in which dogs of a particular breed are judged according to how well they conform to the established breed type
  • Cyclohexane conformation
    Cyclohexane conformation
    A cyclohexane conformation is any of several three-dimensional shapes that a cyclohexane molecule can assume while maintaining the integrity of its chemical bonds....

    , the three-dimensional shape of a cyclohexane molecule
  • Equine conformation
    Equine conformation
    Equine conformation evaluates the degree of correctness of a horse's bone structure, musculature, and its body proportions in relation to each other. Undesirable conformation can limit the ability to perform a specific task. Although there are several universal "faults," a horse's conformation is...

    , evaluates the degree of correctness of a horse's bone structure, musculature, and its body proportions
  • Protein conformation, the overall three-dimensional shape of a protein as determined by its folding
