(Time-resolved) Photoelectron circular dichroism in solution — Janina Lebendig-Kuhla, Pascal Engl, Hans-Hermann Ritze, and •Andrea Lübcke — Max Born Institute for Nonlinear Optics and Short Pulse Spectroscopy, Max-Born Strasse 2A, 12489 Berlin

Chiral systems play a very important role in nature, in particular in biology. Among the most widely spread chiral systems are DNA, amino acids, sugars, and peptides. We will investigate the role of chirality for the function of those molecules by the newly developed technique of (time-resolved) photoelectron circular dichroism in solution and provide new insights into the excited state dynamics of chiral systems. First results are presented for the model system fenchone, for tryptophan and a DNA nucleotide.
