Abstract

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is an attractive tool for proteomics research as it can be used to rapidly characterize protein secondary structure in aqueous solution. Fourier transform infrared spectrometry is well known as a powerful tool for determination of secondary structures of proteins. This paper presents the most recent experimental results obtained in our laboratory for this kind of analysis. A PeakFit operation was performed and some observations were made.

Keywords
