Desmotrope

/ˈdɛzməˌtroʊp/ noun

Definition

A chemical compound that exists in two or more different forms but can shift between them, similar to but distinct from an isomer.

Etymology

From Greek 'desmos' (bond) and 'tropos' (turning, direction). Created in chemistry to describe molecules that can rearrange their bonds and switch forms.

Kelly Says

Desmotropes are shape-shifters at the molecular level—a single molecule can actually be two different things depending on how its atoms are arranged, which is why some medicines can have unexpected effects.
