Berova N., Polavarapu P.L., Nakanishi K., Woody R.W. (Eds.). Comprehensive Chiroptical Spectroscopy, Applications in Stereochemical Analysis of Synthetic Compounds, Natural Products, and Biomolecules (Volume 2)

Wiley, 2012. - 863 p. - Providing an introduction to the methods of chiroptical spectroscopy, this two-volume set presents comprehensive coverage of the most important and up-to-date methods of dealing with chiral molecules, which can discriminate between left and right circularly polarized light. Addressing basic principles, instrumentation, and applications in the natural sciences, Comprehensive Chiroptical Spectroscopy is the only book of its kind to provide cutting-edge, in-depth coverage of recent developments and frontier topics in the field, looking at the most important applications of chiroptical spectroscopy to problems in organic and inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, and structural biology.Topics covered in the second volume include:
Aromatic chromophores
Exciton chirality method
Inorganic systems
Chiral natural products
Peptides, proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates
Drug and natural product binding to nucleic acids
And much moreWith each chapter written by one or more leading authorities in the field, Comprehensive Chiroptical Spectroscopy presents the ideal tools needed to determine chiral molecular structures and associated molecular properties, making it a must-have for both students and researchers.
