What Does CD Stand For?
CD stands for Circular Dichroism
Circular Dichroism (CD) is a spectroscopic technique used to measure the differential absorption of left-handed and right-handed circularly polarized light by chiral molecules. It provides valuable information about the secondary and tertiary structures of biomolecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids, making it an essential tool in biochemistry and molecular biology for studying molecular conformations and interactions.
