TLDR
In this article, the conversion of a series of 2,3-dimethylated 1-aminocyclopropanecarboxylates by apple tissues into mixtures of cis- and trans-butenes is reported; the results are in accord with a stepwise enzymatic mechanism of cyclopropane ring opening.Abstract:

Structure and Magnetic Properties of Glycine Radical in Aqueous Solution at Different pH Values
TL;DR: In this paper, a quantum mechanical approach devoted to the study of unstable species in solution was applied to the radicals resulting from the homolytic breaking of the Cα−Hα bond of glycine in aqueous solution at different pH values.

Ring Opening of the Cyclopropylcarbinyl Radical and Its N- and O-Substituted Analogues: A Theoretical Examination of Very Fast Unimolecular Reactions
TL;DR: In this paper, the applicability of various theoretical techniques to this ring-opening reaction has been investigated and a variant of the recently introduced CBS-RAD procedure is found to give good agreement with the experimental thermochemistry.

Purification and properties of the apple fruit ethylene-forming enzyme.
TL;DR: New characterizations of the ethylene-forming enzyme have been conducted, identifying the blocking group at the N-terminus as acetyl and the availability of the purified enzyme will permit definitive studies of the mechanism by which ethylene is produced and provide opportunities to discover molecules that inhibit the process.
