✦ Synopsis

Recent progress in the use of Raman optical activity (ROA) to study the stereochemical properties of biological molecules is described. The basic experimental, theoretical, instrumental and calculational methodology of backscattering ROA is presented together with examples of applications to amino acids and peptides in aqueous solution.
