Configuration

(Science: chemistry) The three-dimensional arrangement of an organic molecule that is caused by: double bonds that prevent free rotation, or chiral centres that haveside groups arranged around them in a particular order.

a configurational isomer cannot be turned into another configuration without breaking covalent bonds.

Re: The Colin Leslie Dean species paradox

... their ecological success. Think of them as existing in evolutionary plateaus - where there is the least resistance to their current genetic configuration. While populations rest in these stable states, they can typically be classified as species - but remove that stable state, introduce ...

The Colin Leslie Dean species paradox

... it is the first time an organism in the population has possessed a particular suite of traits (traits which were present, but not in this specific configuration)? What about litter-mates, was it the first to hatch/be-born? Clearly we're speaking of an organism that is different from its parent ...

Re: Any SOLID arguments against evolution?

... have their own sets of DNA (mitochondrial DNA) which replicate independently of the parent cell and retain to a large degree their ancestral configurations. Furthermore the multiple membrane configuration of the mito or chloroplast is an indicator that these organelles might not have originated ...

Quick Question-

... Construction of 2C CDR3α DNA library 2Cα and 2Cβ cDNAs, were cloned into the murine stem cell virus (MSCV) retroviral vector in a bicistronic configuration of 2Cα-IRES-2Cβ (kindly provided by Phil Holler and Jianzhu Chen, MIT). The 5 codon amino acid degeneracy library in CDR3α of the 2C ...
