Circular Dichroism -

. .

Résumé :
Unter Zirkulardichroismus (CD) versteht man die spezifisch unterschiedliche Absorption von links- und rechtszirkular polarisiertem Licht durch bestimmte Molek?le. CD-Effekte lassen sich in Abh?ngigkeit von der Wellenl?nge messen und spektroskopisch auswerten. Dieser Band erl?utert Theorie und Anwendung der CD-Spektroskopie insbesondere f?r Biomolek?le. Ausf?hrlich behandelt werden Anwendungen auf den Gebieten der organischen Stereochemie und der Biopolymere. Geschrieben von anerkannten Spezialisten! (06/00)
