title: Quantitative IR spectrophotometry of peptide compounds in water (H2O) solutions. II. Amide absorption bands of polypeptides and fibrous proteins in alpha-, beta-, and random coil conformations.
abstract: Infrared spectra of poly(D,L-alanine), poly(L-glutamic acid), poly(L-lysine), silk fibroin, and tropomyosin have been registered for various conformations of the polypeptide chain. Assuming additivity of the main- and side-chain absorption, spectral parameters of amide I and II absorption bands corresponding to alpha-, beta-, and random coil conformations have been derived. The amide I band parameters for H2O and D2O have been compared.
