释义

Definition of conformation in English:

conformation

noun kɒnfɔːˈmeɪʃ(ə)n
  • 1The shape or structure of something, especially an animal.

    (尤指动物的)外形;形态;构造,结构

    mass noun we've been looking for stock with good overall conformation
    Example sentencesExamples

    • The judges then walked down the row checking the conformation of the horses and getting a closer look at each one.
    • This is because we want to start with the x-ray structure conformation.
    • Following this event it takes some time for the channel conformation to relax back to the original structure or conformation.
    • The animal's conformation can be a factor in how well your pack load or horse saddlebags ride.
    • The best approach for correcting a gait fault is to examine the animal's conformation and foot-flight pattern.
    • At an all-breed dog show, the focus lies in the dog's conformation, or overall appearance and structure.
    Synonyms
    construction, form, formation, shape, composition, fabric, anatomy, make-up, constitution
    1. 1.1Chemistry Any of the spatial arrangements which the atoms in a molecule may adopt and freely convert between, especially by rotation about individual single bonds.
      〔化〕构象。比较 CONFIGURATION
      a change of DNA conformation induced by binding of RNA polymerase
      Compare with configuration
      Example sentencesExamples

  • adjective ˌkɒnfɔːˈmeɪʃ(ə)n(ə)lˌkɑnfərˈmeɪʃ(ə)n(ə)l
