Abstract

Circular dichroism spectroscopy is a useful and versatile tool to obtain low-resolution structural information about proteins, biopolymers and other chiral materials in solution. The first UV–VIS beamline dedicated to circular dichroism, B23, at Diamond Light Source Ltd., a third-generation synchrotron facility in the UK, has recently become operational and is now available for the user community. Herein we summarize the main characteristics of the beamline and some possible applications.
