Techniques And Application Of FTIR Vibrational Circular Dichroism

Abstract
Vibrational Circular Dichroism (VCD) has proven to be useful for detecting conformational change and for characterizing secondary structures for a variety of biopolymers. Use of FTIR-based VCD for such problems has been made possible with recent improvements in optical design and S/N. FTIR-VCD and dispersive VCD each have strengths that are optimal for specific problems. A comparison of techniques is presented in this lecture, and selected examples of VCD applications to polypeptides and proteins are given.
