(n.) Winding; twisted; warped; -- applied to curves and surfaces.
Example Sentences:

(6) The vibrational Raman spectra of dimyristoyl (DMPC)-, dipalmitoyl (DPPC)-, and distearoylphosphatidycholine (DSPC)-water bilayer system were used to probe lipid hydrocarbon chain trans-gauch isomerization dynamics below the gel-liquid crystalline phase transition temperature.
(7) The results suggested the gauche conformation for the C alpha-C beta bond in the choline moiety, a constrained glycerol region, a magic angle orientation for the sn-2 carbonyl, and a preferred orientation close to the bilayer normal for the plane of the sn-1 carbonyl bond and acyl chain C = C bond.
(8) The glycosidic torsional angle, chiCN = -28.4 degrees, is in the anti region; the sugar pucker is C(2')exo-C(3')endo in a nearly pure 32H twist; and the conformation of C(4')-C(5') is gauche-gauche.
(9) This leads us to assume that the gauche-gauche conformation is an essental prerequisite for substrates of RNA polymerase.
(10) All backbone torsion angles fall into the range expected for the A-DNA form, except for the nucleotide G5, whose alpha and gamma torsion angles adopt the trans, trans conformation instead of the common gauche-, gauche+ conformation.

Definition:
(a.) Not decorous; violating good manners; contrary to good breeding or etiquette; unbecoming; improper; out of place; as, indecorous conduct.
Example Sentences:

(2) The BBC's economics editor hadn't done anything nearly so indecorous, you understand.
