Assertion: tartaric acid's molecule | /r/CapableOf | align hydroxy and carboxy groups
Facets:
value: in order to obtain a stable conformation
type: PURPOSE
Source sentences:
text: In contrast with succinate, this molecule is still able to align the hydroxy and carboxy groups in order to obtain a stable conformation for the H-bonds, and hence compensate for the loss of these bonds as found in the gas-phase configuration, as seen in the previous section.
