Q1
A retinal-analog probe exists as geometric isomers about a C=C bond: Molecule C (cis) and Molecule T (trans). In a membrane-binding assay, Molecule T shows higher partitioning into lipid bilayers, while Molecule C shows reduced packing compatibility. Which statement best describes the stereochemical basis for the observed difference?
