title: Vibrational optical activity of oligopeptides.
abstract: Vibrational optical activity (VOA) is a relatively new spectroscopic technique, which has two principal manifestations, ir vibrational CD and vibrational Raman optical activity. Progress in the study of oligopeptides using both of these forms of VOA is reviewed from the perspective of theoretical and instrumental techniques, spectral results, and structural interpretations.
