UV/visible
spectroscopy
A photometric spectroscopy that uses ultraviolet,
visible, and infrared light to determine the
fluorescence/absorbance of molecules or proteins.
Van der Waals
interactions
These are attractive or repulsive forces between
molecules based on dipole effects. Polar chemical
compounds have dipole moments. The dipole
moment is induced by non-uniform distribution of
electron density.
Wet spinning
In wet spinning a solution is extruded through a
capillary tube to produce fibers.
X-ray
crystallography
A technique used to determine the atomic structure
of a molecule or protein complex from a solid
crystalline sample.
