Vibrational circular dichroism spectroscopy (VCD) is a powerful analytical technique that probes the chiroptical properties of molecules by measuring the differential absorption of left and right ...

Circular Dichroism (CD) spectroscopy is an established analytical technique that probes the differential absorption of left- and right-handed circularly polarised light by chiral biomolecules. In ...

Atomic-scale EMCD imaging reveals antiferromagnetic order in single atomic columns, detects ultrathin interfacial 'dead' ...

The 3D conformation of a molecule or nanostructure determines its function. For instance, a left-handed amino acid can be beneficial to health, while its right-handed compartment can be toxic. With ...

Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy is an extension of circular dichroism spectroscopy into the infrared and near-infrared regions where vibrational transitions occur in the ground ...

Most biomolecules are chiral. Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy is typically used to provide information about that chirality. But the data for mixtures of biomolecules can be difficult to ...

A research study describes a systematic high-throughput design approach for virtual screening and creation of novel polypeptide-based molecules that form regular secondary structures that can be used ...

Metamaterials are a novel class of man-made materials with engineered qualities that surpass those found in nature. Unlike most substances, whose behavior is determined by chemical makeup, ...
