title: Straightforward approach to the discrimination of (4R)- and (4S)-beta-isocryptoxanthin from a conformationally insensitive CD band.
abstract: A straightforward strategy is reported for chiral discrimination in a specified carotenoid using a CD band, which is insensitive to conformational changes, computed by quantum chemical calculation.
