Butane is the most common alkane that is put under the process of isomerization, as it makes many branched alkanes with high octane numbers. Source: Internet

Cis-trans isomerization Peptide bonds to proline, and to other N-substituted amino acids (such as sarcosine ), are able to populate both the cis and trans isomers. Source: Internet

IARC Handbook, (1998) p. 25 When exposed to light or heat, lycopene can undergo isomerization to any of a number of these cis-isomers, which have a bent rather than linear shape. Source: Internet

Bittering hops are boiled for a longer period of time, typically 60–90 minutes, to maximize the isomerization of the alpha acids. Source: Internet

Conformational protein folding is usually much faster (typically 10–100 ms) than cis-trans isomerization (10–100 s). Source: Internet

Glycine may exist as a zwitterion at the isoelectric point, but the equilibrium constant for the isomerization reaction in solution :H 2 NCH 2 CO 2 H ⇌ H 3 N + CH 2 CO 2 − is not known. Source: Internet
