Outline of Final Research Achievements

Large Molecules like biomolecules have a large number of geometric isomers which are caused by the change of configuration around the single bonds. It is expected that the steric geometry gives significant effects on the chemical and physical property and the reactivity of large molecules like biological action.
In the present study, we developed a new method to select each steric isomer from the mixture of geometric isomers by using a time and space modulated electric inhomogeneous field. The present study ensures the study on collisional isomerization process from a biomolecule having a well-defined geometry.
