  • (n.) Compliance with the usages of the Established Church.

  • (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.

Obedience


Definition:
