Circular dichroism parameter settings

Use of polarized light to excite fluorescence, and measurement of the state of polarization of the emitted light introduce another set of measurable parameters that can characterize structures and dynamics of molecules. The anisotropy of the polarization of fluoresence after excitation by linearly polarized light provides the rotational diffusion coefficient, or rotational correlation time, of the fluorophore. When there is fluorescence energy transfer, analysis of the anisotropy of both donor and acceptor can reveal the relative orientation, and the relative motion. Measurement of fluorescence after excitation by circularly polarized light provides the fluorescence-detected circular dichroism. This measurement characterizes the chiral environment of the ground state of the fluorophore. If the circular polarization of the fluorescence is measured, the circularly polarized luminescence is obtained. This measurement characterizes the chirality of the excited state. [Pg.15]
