| conjugate point | A point so related to another that an object at one is imaged at the other. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| points, conjugate | <microscopy> The pair of points on the principal axis of a mirror or lens so located that light emitted from either point will be focused at the other. Related points in the object and image are located optically so that one is the image of the other. See: polarizing element (05 Aug 1998) |

| cysteine conjugate transaminase | <enzyme> Generates thiopyruvates by deamination of cysteine conjugates leaving the r-s-c bond intact Registry number: EC 2.6.1.- Synonym: cysteine-conjugate alpha-ketoglutarate transaminase (26 Jun 1999) |
| cysteine S-conjugate N-acetyltransferase | <enzyme> Catalyses n-acetylation of l-cysteine thioesters to form mercapturic acids; important in drug detoxication Registry number: EC 2.3.1.80 Synonym: cscn acetyltransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| self-conjugate | <geometry> Having the two things that are conjugate parts of the same figure; as, self-conjugate triangles. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| obstetric conjugate | The diameter that represents the shortest diameter through which the head must pass in descending into the superior strait and measures, by means of X-ray, the distance from the promontory of the sacrum to a point on the inner surface of the symphysis a few millimeters below its upper margin. Synonym: obstetric conjugate diameter. (05 Mar 2000) |
