With support from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program, the Department of Chemistry at Emory University will acquire a Circular Dichroism Spectrometer. This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including a) the design of polypeptide materials of precise and controllable molecular structure (Conticello); b) studies on flavoenzyme systems (Edmondson); c) peptide structure and self-assembly (Lynn); d) transition metal-DNA interactions (Marzilli); and e) bio-organic chemistry of protein-DNA complexes (Mohler). Circular dichroism spectroscopy is an extremely useful tool in modern analytical chemistry. It provides a very reliable and sensitive method for assigning absolute molecular configurations. The results from these studies will have an impact in a number of areas, in particular, biochemistry.

在化学研究仪器和设施(CRIF)计划的支持下，埃默里大学化学系将获得一台圆二色谱光谱仪。该设备将加强以下领域的研究：a)设计具有精确和可控分子结构的多肽材料(Conticello)；b)黄素酶系统研究(Edmondson)；c)多肽结构和自组装(LYN)；d)过渡金属-DNA相互作用(Marzilli)；以及e)蛋白质-DNA复合体的生物有机化学(Mohler)。圆二色谱是现代分析化学中一种非常有用的工具。它为绝对分子构型的确定提供了一种非常可靠和灵敏的方法。这些研究的结果将对一些领域产生影响，特别是生物化学。
