Circular Dichroism

Circular Dichroism (CD) is the difference in absorption of left and right circularly polarised light and it is the ideal technique for studying chiral molecules in solution.

The most common applications include:
  • Proving that a chiral molecule has been synthesised or resolved into pure enantiomers
  • Probing the structure of biological macromolecules, in particular determining the secondary structure (including a-helix and b-sheet) content of proteins.



     We are able to offer a professional service from protocol development for your specific sample type to interpretation of the data and structure fitting.
