conformation Chem a. another name for configuration b. one of the configurations of a molecule that can easily change its shape and can consequently exist in equilibrium with molecules of different configuration conformation [kän·fər′mā·shən] (organic chemistry) In a molecule, a specific orientation of the atoms that varies from other possible orientations by rotation or rotations about single bonds; generally in mobile equilibrium with other conformations of the same structure. Also known as conformational isomer; conformer. How to thank TFD for its existence?

We'll look at fluorescent signals and see how they change related to this fusion-pore opening," says Lindau, "to give us an idea if there are conformational changes happening. This MAb was shown to recognize a conformational epitope of HA2 (36), but no immunogen that could selectively induce this response has been described. The single-strand conformational polymorphism method was considered potentially the most valuable for discriminating to the subtype level and where a large number of samples were to be analyzed. |
