Circular Dichroism Database

A Circular Dichroism (CD) Database is a specialized collection of data that captures how different molecules, especially proteins and other biological structures, absorb circularly polarized light. Scientists use it to analyze the shape, structure, and behavior of these molecules. By comparing experimental measurements to the database, researchers can determine if a molecule has a specific folded form or monitor changes in structure. This resource aids in understanding molecular functions and developing new drugs or materials, serving as a valuable tool in biochemistry and structural biology research.
