Physical form of an animal; its shape and arrangement of parts.

the way in which something is formed; the structure of something, especially an animalCheck pronunciation: conformation

1510s, from Latin conformationem (nominative conformatio) "a symmetrical forming," noun of action from past participle stem of conformare (see conform).

n. General structure, form, or outline.

The spatial arrangement, folding or shape of a macromolecule, such as a protein or nucleic acid. © Nature Education

The 3-dimensional structure of a molecule.

The three-dimensional arrangement adopted by a molecule, usually a complex macromolecule. Molecules with the same configuration can have more than one conformation.

The physical makeup of and bodily proportions of a horse how it is put together.

The proportionate development of carcass parts or wholesale cuts, and the ratio of muscle to bone.

(n) a symmetrical arrangement of the parts of a thing(n) any spatial attributes (especially as defined by outline)(n) acting according to certain accepted standards

The physical makeup of and bodily proportions (musculature, skeleton, etc.) of a horse, and how it comes together as a whole unit.

The form and structure, make and shape; arrangement of the parts in conformance with breed standards.

The spatial arrangements of atoms affording distinction between stereoisomers which can be interconverted by rotation about formally single bonds. Some authorities extend the term to include inversion at trigonal bipyramidal centres and other "polytopal rearrangements". IUPAC STEREOCHEMICAL TERMINOLOGY (1993)
