  • (20) Scott insisted he was an abstract painter in the way he felt Chardin was too: the pans and fruit were uninteresting in themselves; they were merely "the means of making a picture", which was a study in space, form and colour.

Dichroism


Definition:

  • (n.) The property of presenting different colors by transmitted light, when viewed in two different directions, the colors being unlike in the direction of unlike or unequal axes.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Circular dichroism (CD) spectra indicating different local orientation of oxazolone, when coupled to L or D side chain-terminating amino acids, support this suggestion.

  • (6) Monodispersed N- and C-protected linear homo-oligomethionines (n = 2- -7) are studied by measurements of circular dichroism in the vacuum ultraviolet region.
  • (7) We discuss the role of symmetry operations in mode calculations and the relevance of these displacement vectors to the interpretation of linear dichroism measurements performed on the A- and B-DNA helix.
  • (8) Using circular dichroism and fluorescence methods as well as disc-electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel, it has been shown that trinitrophenylation does not cause any significant changes in the enzyme structure.
