| Research Abstract |
Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) represents the differential emission of left and right circularly polarized light from a sample, being a reflection of the chirality of the excited fluorophore. This method has been used extensively to obtain structural information of biomolecules. In order to apply the CPL spectroscopic system to DNA, we will synthesize various luminescent probes for labeling biomolecules. Time-resolved CPL (TR-CPL) measurements of the fluorescence probes attached to biomolecules enable us to detect supramolecular structural changes of biological macromolecules in photoreaction. We have published 6 papers during this study duration.
