WHAT DOES TAUTOMER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Tautomer

Tautomers are constitutional isomers of organic compounds that readily interconvert by a chemical reaction called tautomerization. This reaction commonly results in the formal migration of a hydrogen atom or proton, accompanied by a switch of a single bond and adjacent double bond. The concept of tautomerizations is called tautomerism. Because of the rapid interconversion, tautomers are generally considered to be the same chemical compound. Tautomerism is a special case of structural isomerism and can play an important role in non-canonical base pairing in DNA and especially RNA molecules.

Definition of tautomer in the English dictionary

The definition of tautomer in the dictionary is either of the two forms of a chemical compound that exhibits tautomerism.
