English term or phrase: conformational change
Definition from Biochemical Society:
Large, medium or small adjustment to the molecular shape/dynamics of a protein that may follow a change in environment or the specific recognition of another molecule.

Example sentence(s):
  • These observations indicate that heparin, in addition to causing aggregation, also induces a conformational change in tau in which reactive groups are unmasked or move closer leading to the DSS cross-linking of 72- and 83-kDa species. jbc online
  • At low pH, the hemagglutinin (HA) of influenza virus undergoes an irreversible conformational change that potentiates its essential membrane fusion function. The Rockefeller University Press
  • To develop the antibody chip for detecting the Bax conformational change, we immobilized Bax monoclonal antibody 6A7, which recognizes only a conformationally changed Bax protein on a gold surface. Elsevier Inc.

konformationsændring


Definition from own experience or research:
En konformationsændring er en ændring af et molekyles konformation (rumlige struktur), som kan ske ved rotation af atomer eller grupper af atomer omkring enkeltbindinger i molekylet.

Example sentence(s):
  • Molekyler siges at have forskellig konformation (at være konformere), såfremt de kun adskiller sig i deres rumlige opbygning ved en rotation omkring en eller flere enkeltbindinger - http://www.denstoredanske.dk

Votes in favor of/against selecting this as the best translation of the term asked
Yes  Susmi Rosenthal: Agree. Ex: Bindingen mellem vækstfaktor og receptor (evt. samtidig dimerisering af receptoren) inducerer en konformationsændring, som inducerer intracellulære reaktioner som fx aktivering af tyrosinkinaser. Ugeskrift for Læger
