(4) For example, conformation of labeled units, such as C-CHD-
CHD-C, 13C-CH2-CH2-13C, and C-13CHD-13CHD-C can be site-
selectively investigated by vibrational circular dichroism (VCD), NMR
J-coupling analysis, and/or NMR distance measurement.
(5) Commercial sources of bromoacetic acid cover all patterns of 13C
labeling: [1-13C], [2-13C], and [1,2-13C2].
