Atom-dipole interaction; molar optical rotation; Kerr effect; molecular polarizability; amino acids

Atom-dipole interaction model has been used to calculate the molecular polarizabilities, refractive indices along the direction of principal polarizabilities of glycine and L-alanine and the molar optical rotation of L-alanine. The results of the calculation have been compared with experimentally observed data from Kerr effect and polarimetric measurements.
