Bendable


Definition:

  • (a.) Capable of being bent.

  • (18) The ability of DNA to form loops is affected by the distance between binding sites; by the DNA sequence, which determines deformability and bendability; and by the presence of other proteins that exert an influence on the conformation of a particular sequence.
  • (19) The bendability of both devices resembles the twisting of a gooseneck lamp.
  • (20) Protein p6 does not seem to recognize a specific sequence in the DNA, but rather a structural feature, which could be bendability.

Flexible


Definition:

  • (a.) Capable of being flexed or bent; admitting of being turned, bowed, or twisted, without breaking; pliable; yielding to pressure; not stiff or brittle.
  • (a.) Willing or ready to yield to the influence of others; not invincibly rigid or obstinate; tractable; manageable; ductile; easy and compliant; wavering.
  • (a.) Capable or being adapted or molded; plastic,; as, a flexible language.

Example Sentences:
