Abstract

Breakdown products of sphingolipids are involved in cell regulaion and exhibit a wide variety of activities related to signal transduction. The backbone of sphingolipids are the sphingosines which have two stereogenic centers. A general, rapid, chemical/chiroptical micromethod based on the bichromophoric CD exciton chirality principle was developed to distinguish all four possible stereoisomers nonambiguously at a level of ca. 1 microgram.
