What Does FDCD Stand For?

FDCD stands for Fluorescence Detected Circular Dichroism

FDCD, or Fluorescence Detected Circular Dichroism, is a sophisticated analytical technique that combines circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy with fluorescence detection. This method enhances the sensitivity and resolution of chiral molecular analysis, allowing for the investigation of structural and conformational properties of chiral molecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids. By measuring the differential absorption of left- and right-circularly polarized light under fluorescence conditions, FDCD provides valuable insights into the secondary and tertiary structures of biological macromolecules, facilitating research in biochemistry, biophysics, and drug development.
