From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Conjugated)
Conjugation may refer to:
- Grammatical conjugation, the modification of a verb from its basic form.
- Latin conjugation, Spanish conjugation and the English verb, each with complex conjugation forms.
- Marriage, relationship between two individuals.
In mathematics:
- Complex conjugation, the operation which multiplies the imaginary part of a complex number by -1; see also conjugate element (field theory).
- A conjugate in algebra is similar to a complex conjugate, but is used to rationalize the denominator of a fraction.
- In group theory, if a is an element of a group, then the map f(x) = axa-1 is called conjugation by a. See inner automorphism, conjugacy class, conjugate closure, and conjugation of isometries in Euclidean space.
- Topological conjugation, which identifies equivalent dynamical systems.
- Conjugate points, in differential geometry.
- Conjugate prior, in probability theory, a family of prior probability distributions.
In science:
- In biology, transmission of DNA without fusion of gametes. This includes bacterial conjugation, which takes place without fusion; conjugation in ciliates, which involves fusion of nuclei but not cells; and conjugation in certain algae and fungi, which involves fusion of cells but not filaments.
- Conjugated system, in organic chemistry, a system of atoms covalently bonded.
- In immunology, a Conjugate vaccine
- Conjugate variables (thermodynamics), the internal energy of a system.
- In metabolism, conjugation is a biochemical process to bind a substance to an acid and thereby deactivating its biological activity, making it water-soluble, and facilitating its excretion.
- Conjugate quantities, in quantum physics, are observables that are linked by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, such as position and momentum.
