Description |
This thesis represents buy a humble first step towards the use of optical rotation theory on the purine and pyrimidine nucleosides (the constituents of the nucleic acids) and their derivatives, This area will surely see very rapid development in the future, and it will greatly increase the scope of rotatory dispersion applications to biochemical problems, The ultraviolet absorption, optical rotatory dispersion and, in some cases, the CD spectra of approximately 100 nucleosides, nucleotides, dinucleotides and related com pounds are reported herein or else used implicitly. |
