Natural circular dichroism (CD) of alanine (Ala) and valine (Val) films were measured in vacuum ultraviolet region using a polarizing undulator as a circularly polarized light source. Compared with absorption spectra, CD spectra showed clear differences between Ala and Val films. In order to explain these differences, a time-dependent density functional theory was applied to calculated CD spectra. The calculated CD spectra showed good agreement with the experimental CD spectra.
