conformational analysis
[kən-ˌfȯr-ˈmā-shə-nəl ə-ˈna-lə-səs]
nounpl: conformational analyses
análise conformacional
1. The study of the spatial arrangement of atoms in a molecule and how different three-dimensional structures (conformers) affect the molecule's properties and reactivity
Conformational analysis of ethane reveals that the staggered conformation is more stable than the eclipsed conformation.
A análise conformacional do etano revela que a conformação escalonada é mais estável do que a conformação eclipsada.
2. A technique used in organic chemistry to predict molecular behavior by examining rotations around single bonds
Through conformational analysis, chemists can determine which isomer will be favored in a reaction.
Através da análise conformacional, os químicos podem determinar qual isômero será favorecido em uma reação.
3. The computational or experimental determination of the three-dimensional structure and stability of different molecular conformers
Advanced conformational analysis using X-ray crystallography provided insights into the protein's structure.
A análise conformacional avançada usando cristalografia de raios X forneceu insights sobre a estrutura da proteína.
Conformational analysis is a fundamental concept in organic chemistry education and pharmaceutical research, particularly important in Brazil and Portugal where chemistry is a major field of study. The term is used exclusively in academic and professional scientific contexts without variation in either region.
