Circular dichroism (CD) is being increasingly recognised as a valuable technique for
examining the structure of proteins in solution. However, the value of many studies using CD is …

RNA-binding proteins are key regulators of gene expression, yet only a small fraction have
been functionally characterized. Here we report a systematic analysis of the RNA motifs …

Circular Dichroism (CD) relies on the differential absorption of left and right circularly polarised
radiation by chromophores which either possess intrinsic chirality or are placed in chiral …

The spectroscopic analysis of large biomolecules is important in applications such as
biomedical diagnostics and pathogen detection 1, 2, and spectroscopic techniques can detect …

… Steve Kelly has spent over 27 years involved in the synthesis of many different kinds of liquid
crystals for use in LCDs and about 10 years designing new reactive mesogens for various …

In this review, we shall outline the basic principles Ž. of circular dichroism CD and indicate
the types of structural information relevant to the study of the Ž. folding and unfolding or …

Due to the voluntary withdrawals and/or bans on the use of two polybrominated diphenyl
ether (PBDE) commercial mixtures, an increasing number of alternate flame retardant …

We present a critical review of semiconducting/light emitting, liquid crystalline materials and
their use in electronic and photonic devices such as transistors, photovoltaics, OLEDs and …

The recently identified plant photoreceptor UVR8 (UV RESISTANCE LOCUS 8) triggers
regulatory changes in gene expression in response to ultraviolet-B (UV-B) light through an …

This review examines surface alignment of liquid crystals by exposure to light. Two distinct
effects are discussed: illumination with polarized light induces a surface anisotropy to an …
