Introduction to the Symposium-in-print: Photoisomerization Pathways, Torsional Relaxation and the Hula Twist

A review of recent literature on volume-conserving cis–trans photoisomerization reaction mechanism, including hula twist, is presented. Differences between substrates trapped in amorphous solids and chromophores that are protein bound are discussed.
