Information about Conformation
Conformation generally means structural arrangement.
In science, it may refer to:
In science, it may refer to:
- Chemical conformation, in chemistry, is the chemical structure of a molecule. In polymer chemistry, it's the three-dimensional shape of the macromolecular chain.
- Protein conformation, in molecular biology and biochemistry, a (tertiary structure) is its overall shape as determined by its folding
- Conformation show, a show where judges evaluate individual dogs for how well they conform to published breed standards
- Conformation point, how well a dog conforms in appearance to standards published for a specific breed
- Equine conformation, the proportions of a horse's body in relation to one another
