(PhysOrg.com) -- An international research team has described the first calculations of Raman optical activity (ROA) spectra using coupled-cluster theory one of the most reliable quantum chemical methods available. ROA is a valuable tool for the structural characterization of a wide range of molecules, including large biomolecules such as viruses and proteins for which the technique holds a particular prominence.
