Modern techniques for circular dichroism and synchrotron radiation circular dichroism spectroscopy: 1

This timely book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account of circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and its application to structural biology. In particular, the newer methods of synchrotron radiation circular dichroism (SRCD) and linear dichroism (LD) are fully covered. Use of SRCD allows data between 190 and 160nm to be measured, where additional information content is obtained plus the ability to characterise biomolecules in diverse environments. The method has value in protein fold recognition and potential for use in structural genomics.
