The term was first used by organic chemist Ludwig Brieger (1849â1919). Toxins can be small molecules, peptides, or proteins that are capable of causing disease on contact with or absorption by body tissues interacting with biological macromolecules such as enzymes or cellular receptors.
Definition of conviction. 1 : the act or process of finding a person guilty of a crime especially in a court of law. 2a : the act of convincing a person of error or of compelling the admission of a truthb : the state of being convinced of error or compelled to admit the truth.
To fall within the definition of a conviction under state law, a conviction requires only a plea of guilty or a finding of guilt AND that a sentence was imposed. An SIS involves only a plea or finding of guilt with no sentence imposed by the court. This is a suspended IMPOSITION of sentence, or SIS. With no sentence imposed, there is no conviction under most state laws, and upon successful completion of probation, there is no conviction on your record. Upon any revocation of an SIS sentence, the court may impose up to the maximum sentence provided by statute.
