| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Fluorescence detected circular dichroism (FDCD) is one of the detection methods of the chirality of substances with a high sensitivity. In the present study, FDCD spectra were investigated with a conventional circular dichroism (CD) spectrophotometer.
In 2013, the FDCD spectra of some proteins in aqueous solutions were measured, but they contained artificial signals significantly. In 2014, it was clarified that the intensity of the artificial signals depended on the position of the detector of the CD spectrophotometer. From these results, the detector was placed at the position where the minimum artificial signals were obtained. The FDCD spectra of amino acids labeled with a fluorescent dye were measured, and the FDCD spectra of mirror image were obtained for L- and D-amino acids. Furthermore, intrinsic FDCD spectra of a protein labeled with a fluorescent dye in aqueous solutions were successfully obtained.
