We consider chirality related effects in optical, photogalvanic and electron-transport properties of carbon nanotubes. We show that these properties of chiral nanotubes are determined by terms in the electron effective Hamiltonian describing the coupling between the electron wavevector along the tube principal axis and the orbital momentum around the tube circumference. We develop a theory of photogalvanic effects and a theory of d.c. electric current, which is linear in the magnetic field and quadratic in the bias voltage. Moreover, we present analytic estimations for the natural circular dichroism and magneto-spatial effect in the light absorption.
