The phrase "a certain conformation" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to a specific shape, structure, or arrangement of something, often in scientific or technical contexts.
Example: "The protein exhibits a certain conformation that is crucial for its function."
Alternatives: "a specific shape" or "a particular structure."
In this paper, we defined the protein free energy (ΔG) landscape in amino acid sequence space, where ΔG is the folding free energy from a random coil to a "certain conformation".
And E329Q was introduced in order to stabilize GLUT1 in a certain conformation (Deng et al., 2014).
For a certain conformation of the macromolecule, its 3D density V thus can be written as V = V_{1} cdot E_{1} + V_{2} cdot E_{2}, (1 where E 1 and E 2 are the Euler matrix of V 1 and V 2, respectively.
These APP-targeting manipulations may alter APP conformation, its positioning within the membrane, APP substrate presentation to γ-secretase, and/or stabilize PS1 in a certain conformation, and thus affect the site of APP cleavage by γ-secretase.
R683G may increase the flexibility of the linker region between the two lobes of the pseudokinase domain [30] and in doing so could require a certain conformation of the JH2 αC, which is lost when F595A is present.
Kinase inhibitors often recognize a certain conformation of a kinase and stabilize this state during crystallization.
Further, it is found that one can tune the adsorption of a certain protein conformation by changing the interactions between the surface and the polymer segments or the composition in the case of mixtures.
Organic parts of the body, such as the nerves, veins, or muscles, required a certain physical conformation of the body in order to perform an action.
Furthermore, it is conceivable, that the synthesis reaction is more substrate specific and dependent of a certain enzyme conformation state.
Briefly, if the true organismal tree is of a certain topological conformation (an asymmetric tree) and contains short branches, there is a chance that most frequently observed topologies (of gene trees) differ from the true (organismal) tree.
While all conformations were observed simultaneously in solution, this is not the case in the static crystal structure environment, which 'traps' a certain favored conformation that has a higher abundance under the crystallization conditions.
