Understanding Secondary Structure

Proteins adopt unique conformations, optimized to perform specific
functions. Therefore, the information on the protein structure is
paramount to elucidating how proteins function.

Secondary Structure Estimation Using FTIR Spectroscopy

Infrared spectroscopy is an effective technique for component analysis and interaction analysis of biological samples such as proteins, sugars, and lipids. FTIR spectroscopy can be used to measure solid and liquid samples when applied to secondary structure analysis of proteins.
