CD Spectrum of Racemic Ananine Observed

Recently scientists from Beijing Agricultural University, Beijing Planetarium, Institute of Botany and the SR Lab of IHEP obtained some good results in racemic experimental study of alanine at 3B1B Biology Station. The branching ratios of D- to L-alanine are D/L=5/0, 5/0.5, 5/1, 5/2, 5/5, 2/5, 1/5, 0.5/5, 0/5. A set of racemic curves were measured successfully (Fig.1), the result is very important for the study of the relationship between the racemic relation of amino acid and the symmetrization broken of living molecules.

During the experiment, the CD spectra for some living specimen¡ª Light Harvest Chlorophyll and photosynthesis reaction were obtained. To calibrate wavelength the CD curves of the standard specimen ¡ª Phenyl sulfonic acid and androsterone have been obtained again and again.

Performance of the experimental equipments were improved. Effective method was adopted to increase signal-to-noise ratio. Experimental data are under analysis.
