conformations, plural;
  1. The shape or structure of something, esp. an animal
    • - the judges run their hands over the dog's body and legs, checking its conformation
  2. Any of the spatial arrangements that the atoms in a molecule may adopt and freely convert between, esp. by rotation about individual single bonds

  1. a symmetrical arrangement of the parts of a thing
  2. shape: any spatial attributes (especially as defined by outline); "he could barely make out their shapes"
  3. conformity: acting according to certain accepted standards; "their financial statements are in conformity with generally accepted accounting practices"
  4. In chemistry, conformational isomerism is a form of stereoisomerism in which the isomers can be interconverted exclusively by rotations about formally single bonds. ...
  5. Conformation in dogs refers solely to the externally visible details of a dog's structure and appearance, as defined in detail by each dog breed's written breed standard. A dog that conforms to most of the items of description in its individual breed standard is said to have good conformation. ...
  6. 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. ...
  7. The act of conforming; the act of producing conformity; The state of being conformed; agreement; hence; structure, as depending on the arrangement of parts; form; arrangement; The spatial arrangement of the atoms in a molecule as a result of rotation about a single bond
  8. (Conformations) Varying progressive versions of a film that is in the editing stage.
  9. The geometrical arrangement in polymers arising from rotation about adjacent carbon-carbon single bonds.
  10. The build of a horse that is determines how likely it is to be healthy
  11. the physical appearance or qualities of a horse.
  12. The overall way in which a horse is put together and also the relationship of specific parts of the horse in regards to its proportions.
  13. the appropriate alignment of the alpaca's body structure in proportion to the whole animal
  14. The shape and proportions of the alpaca, including the size, length and shape of legs and neck
  15. The physical attributes of and bodily proportions of a horse; how it is put together.
  16. The build of a horse, the way he is put together. A horse with good conformation will look proportional. Each breed has its own conformation, for example a Thouroughbred is dishfaced, and an Oldenburg is heavily muscled.
  17. The body form or physical traits of an animal or parts of the animal in the case of udder conformation.
  18. A horse's build and general physical structure.
  19. The form and structure, make and shape; arrangement of the parts in conformance with breed standards.
  20. (in  conformation (molecular structure))
  21. The precise three-dimensional arrangement of atoms and bonds in a molecule describing its geometry and hence its molecular function.
  22. A molecular geometry that differs from other geometries chiefly by rotation about single or triple bonds; distinct conformations (termed con formers) are associated with distinct potential wells. ...
  23. the spatial arrangement of a molecule in space at any particular moment in time. [Most molecules can adopt an infinite number of conformations because of the possible rotation about single covalent bonds. ...
  24. The instantaneous spatial arrangements of atoms. Conformations can change by rotation around single bonds.
  25. The ability of a precision insert bearing to match the shape and contour of a shaft surface even after it has been in use for some time.
