Circular Dichroism and Linear Dichroism

Circular dichroism (CD) and linear dichroism (LD) are spectroscopic techniques that are becoming increasingly important probes of molecular structure, especially with proteins and DNAs. This text, the first in the new Oxford Chemistry Masters series, is designed to show how these two techniques can be used to provide the reader with both an intuitive and a quantitative understanding of how the techniques can be used.
