Circular Dichroism and Linear Dichroism
Abstract
Circular dichroism (CD) is the difference in absorption, A, of left and right circularly polarized light, Equation (1): For randomly oriented systems such as solutions of molecules, only chiral molecules will show any CD intensity corresponding to their absorption bands. Chiral molecules are those molecules that cannot be superposed on their mirror images. Chiral is derived from the Greek word χϵιρ meaning hand, hence the alternate term for chirality, ‘handedness’. Two molecules that are mirror images of each other are often referred to as enantiomers, and equimolar mixtures of two enatiomers form a racemic mixture, which has no net CD intensity in solution. CD can be used to analyze chiral structures such as protein secondary structure in molecules and to probe interactions between chiral molecules and other molecules. Linear dichroism (LD) is the difference in absorption of light linearly polarized parallel and perpendicular to an orientation axis, Equation (2): LD can be used to provide orientation information about subunits of a molecular system such as small molecules absorbed onto stretched films, flow‐oriented DNAs and fibrous proteins, and lipid bilayer systems.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
