Amino acids and other small chiral molecules play key roles in biochemistry. However, in order to understand how these molecules behave in vivo, it is necessary to study them under aqueous-phase conditions. Photoelectron circular dichroism…

Photoelectron circular dichroism (PECD) is a method whereby randomly oriented chiral molecules are irradiated by circularly-polarized light, photoionizing electrons, which are measured in a momentum-resolved manner. This scheme permits…
