Article Title: Structural studies of vinblastine alkaloids by exciton coupled circular dichroism
Abstract: SCF-CI-dipole velocity MO calculations have shown that the bisignate circular dichroic curves of vinblastine/vincristine alkaloids at ca 210 and 220-230 nm are due to exciton coupling between the indoline and indole moieties. Furthermore, a combination of X-ray crystal structure data with MM2 local energy minimization provides a convenient means for estimation of the preferred solution conformation. © 1995.
