(14) The substructural units, 5-14 linear and 5-14 cyclic, have been used as models for MCH-- H-Asp1-Thr-Met-Arg-Cys-Met-Val-Gly-Arg HO-Val17-Glu-Trp-Cys-Pro-Arg-Tyr-Val in 1H-nmr conformational studies.

(17) The conformations of cysteamine, thiazolidine, and thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid were determined in aqueous solutions using NMR spectroscopy.
(18) This structural change opens the heme pocket and modifies the general conformation of the EF segment, thus explaining the increase in oxygen affinity and the achievement of a three-dimensional structure favoring asparagine deamidation.
(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.
Nonobservance
Definition:
(n.) Neglect or failure to observe or fulfill.
Example Sentences:
(1) In the 29% (two of seven) of normal volunteers who had a PMR, diazepam reduced it to a nonobservable level.
(2) The hypothesis we formulate to explain these controversies is that the nonobserved disturbance in sodium excretion in most of these studies is probably secondary to insufficient natriuretic stimuli.
(3) The main causes of dissatisfaction (found in more than 60% of the sample), in order of severity were: achievement in learning Hebrew, financial situation, attitude of the Israeli religious institutions towards the Ethiopian community, and the degree of nonobservance of religious customs by other Israeli Jews.
(4) It also often entails realizing that causal mechanisms can be nonobservable or nonobvious.
(5) The cyclopean illusion (Hering, 1861) is an anomalous lateral shift in the apparent direction to a monocularly seen target, which arises when a change in vergence is made by the opposite (nonobserving) eye.
