What's the difference between conform and fulfill?

Conform


Definition:

  • (a.) Of the same form; similar in import; conformable.

  • (19) It is likely that the molecule undergoes a conformational change when it is bound to the receptor.
  • (20) The phenylalanine-dependent conformation and the leucine-dependent conformation differ considerably.
