ORD measurements in the IR region never have played any role. The ORD method has to be applied in the UV/vis spectral region if a compound does not possess a suitable chromophore. But in order to avoid an ORD analysis, chromophore-free compounds will often be substituted with suitable absorbing groups (see section on Electronic circular dichroism for compounds without a chromophore).

Materials characterization techniques, ie, atomic and molecular identification and analysis, ate discussed ia articles the tides of which, for the most part, are descriptive of the analytical method. For example, both iaftared (it) and near iaftared analysis (nira) are described ia Infrared and raman SPECTROSCOPY. Nucleai magaetic resoaance (nmr) and electron spia resonance (esr) are discussed ia Magnetic spin resonance. Ultraviolet (uv) and visible (vis), absorption and emission, as well as Raman spectroscopy, circular dichroism (cd), etc are discussed ia Spectroscopy (see also Chemiluminescence Electho-analytical techniques It unoassay Mass specthot thy Microscopy Microwave technology Plasma technology and X-ray technology).

Aside from the direct techniques of X-ray or electron diffraction, the major possible routes to knowledge of three-dimensional protein structure are prediction from the amino acid sequence and analysis of spectroscopic measurements such as circular dichroism, laser Raman spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance. With the large data base now available of known three-dimensional protein structures, all of these approaches are making considerable progress, and it seems possible that within a few years some combination of noncrystallo-graphic techniques may be capable of correctly determining new protein structures. Because the problem is inherently quite difficult, it will undoubtedly be essential to make the best possible use of all hints available from the known structures.
