The exact structure of large, biologically
interesting molecules such as proteins is very
important for the functions these molecules fulfill.
To increase our understanding of the relationship
between structure and function, and to enhance the
predictive power of theoretical models, the
structures of a few small model systems have been
determined very precisely. Each of these model
systems is closely related to important structural
elements in proteins or DNA. The structure
determination itself takes place by irradiating the
molecules with UV laserlight and detecting which
colors are absorbed by the molecule. It is found that
especially the structures of systems with several
chemically weak bonds differ substantially from
theoretical predictions. Since the overall structure
of nearly all large biomolecules is ultimately
determined by these types of bonds the results
presented in this thesis can be viewed as a small but
important step towards a better understanding of
biomolecular behavior in general.
