What's the difference between allomorphism and compound?

Allomorphism


Definition:

  • (n.) The property which constitutes an allomorph; the change involved in becoming an allomorph.

  • (17) When isolated, the two major bands again produced an "isoelectric spectrum" suggesting that it reflects an allomorphism of cx-flagellin.
  • (18) With respect to the coupling factor's ability to hydrolyze ATP, the data in this study suggest that there are at least four distinct functional allomorphs of this enzyme: (1) the latent enzyme, which has no kinetically measurable ATPase activity, (2) intrinsic ATPase, which is catalyzed by a small percentage of the molecular population that has been activated by some natural mechanism, (3) activated ATPase, which has properties different from those of intrinsic ATPase, and (4) aged activated ATPase, in which some of the properties (Km for substrate, sensitivity to deactivation by Mg2+ and H+) spontaneously change within 30 min.
  • (19) Thus, we assume that they are stable conformational isomers of the proteins (allomorphism) or that there are only slight variations in the internal sequences of these proteins (polymorphism) causing distinct pIs.
