cis-trans

isomerization the conversion of the configuration of a ‘cis ’ isomer (see ISOMERISM), with similar atoms or groups on the same side of the molecule to a ‘trans ’ form, with the similar atoms or groups on opposite sides.

Moreover, Mosley et al [27] documented in the in vitro study a direct octadeceonoate cis-trans isomerization in mixed rumen bacteria, capable of converting oleic acid into trans-11 as well as other trans isomers.
adopted the [11C + 2C + 1C] synthetic strategy and synthesized the sex pheromone monomers with two different constructions by using triple-bond cis-trans hydrogenation [14].
The peptidlyprolyl cis-trans isomerase signature existed in the LvCypA, which is located in 48-56 sites, respectively (Figs.
Cyclophilin A is a protein exhibiting peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase activity because of which it assists in protein folding (3).
My intention in this article is to study the cis-trans isomerization and isomers formed during the thermal induction of methyl linolenate at 275[degrees]C.
This could be explained in that the higher reaction temperature promoted cis-trans isomerization to enhance both the trans-1,4 and vinyl--1,2 units at the expense of the cis-1,4 isomer [23, 25], An increase in the reaction temperature also decreased the Mw of the Co/Nd-BR since the higher reaction temperature induced chain transfer, which led to a lower Mw with a broader MWD of the resulting BR [1, 23],
It has been observed that solvent polarity is one of such factors, which influences cis-trans isomerization reaction of merocyanines; this fact was explained by the effect of solvent polarization on the intramolecular motion [12].
The cis-trans isomerization of peptide bonds is a slow process on the NMR time scale under normal conditions at ambient temperature due to the high barrier resulting from the C-N partial double bond character.
[52] proved the activation of the cis-trans isomerase in resting cells by the addition of 3-nitrotoluene.
