Not only Circular Dichroism, but Linear Dichroism (LD) Optical Rotation Dispersion (ORD) and hyphenated techniques, such as rapid kinetics, stopped flow, quenched flow, magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) fluorescence detected circular dichroism (FDCD) and Total Fluorescence.

With the results of the human genome project, proteomics and protein analysis is becoming an area of increased study. The techniques of optical activity(and in particular the application of circular dichroism) spectroscopy have been applied to the study of protein and nucleic acid secondary structure for many decades, but now the interest is growing dramatically...
