Stability. Usually for acyclic systems trans isomers are more stable than cis isomers. This is typically due tothe increased unfavorable steric interaction of the substituents in the cis isomer. Therefore, trans isomers have a less-exothermic heat of combustion, indicating higher thermochemical stability...
In general, lower sensitivities were observed for polar AAs, which authors attributed to the hydrophobic nature of the Teflon present on the surface. Both biosensors were able to correctly discriminate enantiomers in racemic samples but were unable to distinguish between different AAs. Although less ...
