with a J-715 CD spectrometer (JASCO Corporation, Japan) using a Peltier
thermostated cell holder (PTC-423, JASCO Corporation) with a recirculating
cooler (JULABO F250, JASCO Corporation). Nitrogen flow (∼2.7
L/min) was led through the spectrometer and controlled with a nitrogen
flow monitor (Afriso Euro-Index). The samples were measured in double-distilled
water (Milli-Q H2O) at 1 mg/mL. The samples were measured
repeatedly (n = 3) in a quartz cuvette with d = 0.1 mm. Spectra were recorded at 25 °C from 300
to 180 nm using a data pitch, a bandwidth of 0.2 nm, and a scan speed
of 50 nm/min. The final spectra were produced by combining 10 individual
spectra and then expressed in molar ellipticity.
