Abstract

This preliminary work reports the vibrational circular dichroism for several homo-poly-ribonucleic acids, DNA’s and RNA’s measured for the C=O, C=C and P=O stretching modes under different conditions. A qualitative comparison of the results is made in light of single and double strands of these molecules. The results obtained for the homo-poly-ribonucleic acids are in agreement with the ordered or random structure nature of these molecules as indicated by other studies.
