β¦ Synopsis
The absorption and CD spectra of the complexes of poly(L-arginine) (PLA) and azo dyes have been measured in aqueous solution. On complexation, blue-shifted additional absorption bands were observed. In the wide pH 4-11 range, induced CD was observed at the visible wavelengths corresponding to the blue-shifted absorption bands. The induced CD arose from the dimeric dye molecules bound to PLA in the a-helical structure. When a modified analysis of induced CD is made by the exciton chirality method, the origin of the induced CD can be assigned to the dipole coupling. The PLA-dye complexes showed the counterclockwise (negative, S ) chirality of the transition dipole moments of dyes.
