X Abstract

An extended formulation of the circular dichroism of helical chromophore aggregates is given by means of the self-consistent non-linear response theory. In this formulation the helix circular dichroism is expressed in closed form in terms of the chromophore's polarizability and hyperpolarizability and in terms of the retarded helical-lattice sum of interchromophoric dipole-dipole interactions. The effects of interchromophoric dynamic interactions upon the helix circular dichroism are then absorbed self-consistently into the polarizability and hyperpolarizability band shape matrices of the perturbed chromophore. The utility of this formulation is shown by a sample calculation of the polarizability and first-hyperpolarizability contribution effects upon the circular dichroism band shape of an oriented helix modelling the B-form conformation of polynucleotides.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
