ქიმიის ტერმინთა განმარტებითი ლექსიკონი

Notes:

1. Typical examples are cis-trans photosomerization of alkenes, polyenes and phototautomerization.
2. Photochemical pathways have the advantage over thermal and catalytic methods of giving isomer mixtures rich in thermodynamically unstable isomers.
3. Photoisomerization is the primary photochemical reaction of the chromophore in several biological photoreceptors such as retinal proteins (e.g., rhodopsin), phytochromes, and the photoactive yellow protein.
