Polarimetric Measurements of Surface Chirality Based on Linear and Nonlinear Light Scattering
A molecule, molecular aggregate, or protein that cannot be superimposed on its mirror image presents chirality. Most living systems are organized by chiral building blocks, such as amino acids, peptides, and carbohydrates, and any change in their molecular structure (i.e., handedness or helicity) al...
