Dichroism refers to a property of certain substances that causes them to exhibit different colors when viewed from different angles.
Full definition
A Cotton effect was observed in the region of the π → π * transition of the polyacetylene chain in
circular dichroism spectra.
Furthermore, site - specific electron energy - loss magnetic
chiral dichroism (EMCD) measurements are planned for a quantitative local magnetic structure determination in collaboration with colleagues from the Beijing National Center for Electron Microscopy.
Using photoelectron emission microscopy (PEEM) and X-ray magnetic
circular dichroism (XMCD) at HZB, we are able to «see» and characterise the magnetic properties of individual chains,» explains Dr. Sergio Valencia, HZB.
Gierasch's early research into the relationship between amino - acid sequence and peptide and protein structure resulted in the development of fundamental principles for reverse - turn conformation features as well as the establishment of several biophysical methods commonly used today to characterize protein turns, such as nuclear magnetic resonance, quantitative nuclear Overhauser effects, circular
dichroism and computational modeling.
The desired candidate will be responsible for performing routine lab work including media preparation, the preparation of solutions and stocks, cloning, large - scale protein expression, protein purification using an Akta chromatographic system, protein characterization using functional and biophysical methods (fluorescence, activity assays, circular
dichroism, ITC), and protein crystallization.
There, I performed the spectroscopic analysis of the in silico predicted protein - ligand pairs of endocrine disruptors and breast cancer proteins using circular
dichroism, native mass spectrometry and microscale thermophoresis.
We use NMR, circular
dichroism, fluorescence and computational methods.
