Abstract
The electro-optical Kerr constants of equeous solutions of some naturally-occuring L-α-amino acids have been measured. The Kerr effect technique is well able to discriminate between solutions of different amino acids despite the relatively small differences between their dielectric constant increments. L-valine and L-isoleucine, whose structures are very similar, have Kerr constant increments of 3.6 and 2.28, respectively.
