conformation assessment

Conformation assessment involves evaluating the three-dimensional shape or structure of a molecule—such as a protein or drug compound—to understand its stability, interactions, and function. By examining how the molecule's atoms are arranged and how flexible they are, scientists can predict how it behaves in biological systems or how effectively it might bind to other molecules. This process helps in designing better medicines and understanding biological processes, ensuring that the molecule’s shape supports its intended activity or interaction.
