Circular Dichroïsm

Optical chirality, in terms of circular birefringence and circular dichroism, is described by its electromagnetic and magnetoelectric material tensors, and the corresponding optical activity contributes to the Mueller matrix. Here, spectroscopic ellipsometry in the spectral range 210–1690 nm is used to address chiral phenomena by measuring Mueller matrices in transmission. Three approaches to determine chirality parameters are discussed. In the first approach, applicable in the absence of linear polarization effects, circular birefringence and circular dichroism are evaluated directly from elements of a Mueller matrix. In the second method, differential decomposition is employed, which allows for the unique separation of chirality parameters from linear anisotropic parameters as well as from depolarization provided that the sample is homogeneous along the optical path. Finally, electromagnetic modeling using the Tellegen constitutive relations is presented. The last method also allows structural effects to be included. The three methods to quantify optical chirality are demonstrated for selected materials, including sugar solutions, α-quartz, liquid crystals, beetle cuticle, and films of cellulose nanocrystals.

Circular Dichroïsm

Circular dichroism (CD) is a physical property observed in chiral molecules by inducing the difference of absorption between left- and right-handed circularly polarized light (CPL). Circular dichroism spectroscopy is widely used in the field of chemistry and biology to distinguish the enantiomers, which typically show either positive or severe side effects in biological applications depending on the molecular structures’ chirality. To effectively detect the chirality of molecules, diverse designs of nanostructured platforms are proposed based on optical resonances that can enhance the optical chirality and amplify the signal of circular dichroism. However, the underlying physics between the optical chirality and the resonance in a nanostructure is largely unexplored, and thus designing rules for optimal chiral detection is still elusive. Here, we carry out an in-depth analysis of chiral enhancement (C enhancement) in nanostructured surfaces to find the relationship between optical resonances and chirality. Based on the relations, we optimize the nanostructured metasurface to induce effective chiral detection of enantiomers for diverse conditions of molecule distribution. We believe that the proposed designing rules and physics pave the important pathway to enhance the optical chirality for effective circular dichroism spectroscopy.

Urinary Glycoprotein

Much work has been reported on the chemical, physical and morphological properties of urinary Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein (THG). Although it was once reported that cystic fibrotic (CF) individuals had a defective THG, more recent data indicate that THG and CF-THG are similar if not identical.No studies on the conformational aspects have been reported on this glycoprotein using circular dichroism (CD). We examined the secondary structure of THG and derivatives under various conditions and have correlated these results with quaternary structure using electron microscopy.THG was prepared from normal adult males and CF-THG from a 16-year old CF female by the method of Tamm and Horsfall.
