Circular dichroism (CD) refers to the differential absorption of left and right circularly polarized light.[1][2] This phenomenon was discovered by Jean-Baptiste Biot, Augustin Fresnel, and Aimé Cotton in the first half of the 19th century.[3] It is exhibited in the absorption bands of optically active chiral molecules.

Circular dichroism spectroscopy

CD spectroscopy has a wide range of applications in many different fields. Most notably, UV CD is used to investigate the secondary structure of proteins.[4] UV/Vis CD is used to investigate charge-transfer transitions.[5] Near-infrared CD is used to investigate geometric and electronic structure by probing metal dd transitions.[2] Vibrational circular dichroism, which uses light from the infrared energy region, is used for structural studies of small organic molecules, and most recently proteins and DNA.[4]
