ABSOLUTE CONFIGURATION OF POLYPEPTIDE AND DYE COMPLEXES BY AN APPLICATION OF THE EXCITON CHIRALITY METHOD

Abstract
Absolute configurations of the poly(Nε-alkyl-l-lysine) and alkylamino azo dye complexes have been examined by the exciton chirality method. Most complexes showed the S-chirality of the dipole transition moments of dyes. Increased hydrophobic property changed the chirality of dye from common S- to uncommon R-chirality.
