Any protein that consists of both a polypeptide and a prosthetic group such as a lipid (in lipoproteins), sugar (in glycoproteins) or porphyrins and metals (in hemoglobin etc)
unite chemically so that the product is easily broken down into the original compounds undergo conjugation add inflections showing person, number, gender, tense, aspect, etc
In chemistry, this is a water soluble derivative of a chemical formed by its combination with glucuronic acid, glutathione, sulphate, acetate, glycine etc Usually conjugation takes place in the liver and facilitates excretion of chemicals that would otherwise tend to accumulate in the body because of their solubility in body fat
to give in prescribed order the various inflectional forms of something It is used especially of a verb, in which case it means to give the forms for every person, number, mood, and tense A preposition can also be conjugated in Welsh
"conjugate the verb" of an organic compound; containing two or more double bonds each separated from the other by a single bond formed by the union of two compounds; "a conjugated protein" of a pinnate leaflet; having only one pair of leaflets joined together especially in a pair or pairs

Describes a pair of intersecting (or nearly intersecting) faults, the slip motions of which are opposite (e g , right-lateral and left-lateral), so as to accommodate the rotation of the block they bound Conjugate faults will sometimes slip roughly "simultaneously" (within hours or days of each other), causing pairs of earthquakes One example of this is the 1987 Elmore Ranch/Superstition Hills earthquakes, in which the rupture of the left-lateral Elmore Ranch fault was followed only a day later by the rupture of the right-lateral Superstition Hills fault The 1992 Landers and Big Bear earthquakes were also a conjugate pair
Two leaves in a book are said to be conjugates if they are of a single piece of paper Consider an octavo [8vo] format book, where the printed sheet has been folded three times to produce a gathering of eight leaves which bear sixteen pages The top and fore edge of the folded gathering are cut, leaving the first leaf conjugate with eighth, the second leaf with the seventh, the third with the sixth, and the fourth with the fifth
