A systematic series of synthetic, characterization and butene isomerization catalysis studies of ferrierite and ferrierite-like materials such as ZSM-22,59 ZSM-23,60 and ZSM-35,6 was undertaken to study optimization of isobutylene product. Coke deposits in the pores of these materials play a key role in isobutylene formation as does the overall acidity and structure of the pore system. Such shape selective effects have been probed with TPD methods. 

Mechanistic pathways 1 and 2 involving isomerization catalysis and holding of unfolded polypeptide chains can be discussed in relation to all subfamilies of peptide bond cis-trans isomerases. In contrast, only members of the two families of cydophilins and FKBP, were found to play a role in presenting physiological ligands to further cellular constituents.
