Isomer vs. Conformer

Isomernoun

(chemistry) Any of two or more compounds with the same molecular formula but with different structure.

Isomernoun

(physics) Any of two or more atomic nuclei with the same mass number and atomic number but with different radioactive properties.

Isomernoun

A compound which is isomeric with another body or compound; a compound having the same chemical composition as another compound; a member of an isomeric series.

Isomernoun

a compound that exists in forms having different arrangements of atoms but the same molecular weight

Isomer

In chemistry, isomers are molecules or polyatomic ions with identical molecular formulas — that is, same number of atoms of each element — but distinct arrangements of atoms in space. Isomerism is existence or possibility of isomers.

Conformernoun

(chemistry) Any of a set of stereoisomers characterised by a conformation that corresponds to a distinct potential energy minimum.

Conformernoun

(biochemistry) A particular folded state or conformation of a protein, especially an abnormal conformation of a prion

Conformernoun

A person who conforms; a conformist.

Conformernoun

(religion) A Conformist.

Conformernoun

One who conforms; one who complies with established forms or doctrines.

Conformer

Conformer is a clear acrylic shell fitted after an enucleation if the final artificial eye is not available at the time of surgery to hold the shape of the eye socket and allow the eyelids to blink over the shell without rubbing the suture line. The conformer shell holds the shape ready for the artificial eye.
