- In chemistry, conformational isomerism is a form of stereoisomerism in which the isomers can be interconverted exclusively by rotations about formally single bonds. ...
- any of a set of stereoisomers characterised by a conformation that corresponds to a distinct potential energy minimum; A particular folded state or conformation of a protein; A person who conforms
- (conformers) (aka conformational isomers) molecules with different spatial orientations of the same molecule; not true isomers; ex: Newman projections (best way to view them)
- a conformation of a molecule; generally these will be at energy minima.
- A characterization of an animal in regard to environmental variables. A confonner allows some conditions within its body to vary with certain external changes.
- Plastic shell sometimes used as temporary "false eye" after removal of an eye; placed under eyelids (over buried implant) to preserve their shape. Will later be replaced by a permanent prosthesis.
- An organism whose physiological state (e.g., body temperature) is identical to, and varies identically with, that of the external environment.
- An acrylic plastic shell used to help form the eye socket and support the eyelids after surgery.
