With reference spectra derived from proteins of known structure (CHEN, YANG, and MARTINEZ, Biochemistry 11, 4120 [1972]) a better approximation of the circular dichroism spectrum of fragments of the thylakoid membrane is achieved, than by the use of polylysine as reference substance. Most probably the protein in the thylakoid membrane consists of 40 per cent helix, 42 per cent random coil and 18 per cent β-structure.

Circular dichroism (CD) is used to give information about the chirality or handedness of molecular systems. It is particularly widely applied to determine the secondary structure of proteins such as biopharmaceutical products.
