Conformation example sentences

Alkanes can thus have infinite number of conformations by rotation around C-C single bonds.Alkanes show conformational isomerism due to free rotation along the C–C sigma bonds.My mental eye, rendered more acute by repeated visions of this kind, could now distinguish larger structures of manifold conformations; long rows,sometimes more closely fitted together; all twisting and turning in snake like motion.Out of staggered and the eclipsed conformations of ethane, staggered conformation is more stable as hydrogen atoms are farthest apart.As already mentioned, the repulsive interaction between the electron clouds, which affects stability of a conformation, is called torsional strain.It may be remembered that in all the conformations, the bond angles and the bond lengths remain the same.Eclipsed and the staggered conformations can be represented by Sawhorse and Newman projections.Such spatial arrangements of atoms which can be converted into one another by rotation around a C-C single bond are called conformations or conformers or rotamers.The break down of the gradient provides enough energy to cause a conformational change in the F1 particle of the ATPase, which makes the enzyme synthesise several molecules of energy-packed ATP.These are called conformational isomers (conformers).One such conformation in which hydrogen atoms attached to two carbons are as closed together as possible is called eclipsed conformation and the other in which hydrogens are as far apart as possible is known as the staggered conformation.Of all the conformations of ethane, the staggered form has the least torsional strain and the eclipsed form, the maximum torsional strain.It has not been possible to separate and isolate different conformational isomers of ethane.Thus there are infinite number of conformations of ethane.Any other intermediate conformation is called a skew conformation.
