Chiroptical spectroscopy of lanthanide-binding phosphate complex

Cost-efficient analytical methods are needed to gain better insight into the structure and function of biological systems. Tao Wu from Petr Bouř Group at IOCB Prague applied Raman optical activity technique to study the Induced circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) of Europium in chiral phosphate solution, and investigated the spectroscopic pattern by molecular modeling. 

The described data will help to understand the interactions between the phosphate group and lanthanide probes, which can lead to the development of novel systems for detecting mutations in nucleic acids.

The front cover in Chemistry – Methods illustrates the research.
