Analyses of circular dichroism spectra of membrane proteins.
Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy is a valuable technique for the determination of protein secondary structures. Many linear and nonlinear algorithms have been developed for the empirical analysis of CD data, using reference databases derived from proteins of known structures. To date, the reference databases used by the various algorithms have all been derived from the spectra of soluble pr...
متن کاملAttosecond circular dichroism spectroscopy of polyatomic molecules.
We describe the roles of multiple electronic continua in high-harmonic generation from aligned molecules. First, we show how the circularity of emitted harmonics tracks the interplay of different electronic continua participating in the nonlinear response. Second, we show that the interplay of different continua can lead to large variations of harmonic phases. Finally, we show how multiple elec...
متن کاملA pioneer of protein circular dichroism spectroscopy
Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy is by far the most widely used technique for protein secondary structure analysis. A survey of the scientific literature will reveal that Robert Woody (Fig. 1) has undoubtedly been a pioneer in the elucidation of the relationship between CD and protein structure and
متن کاملTerahertz Circular Dichroism Spectroscopy of Biomolecules
Biopolymers such as proteins, DNA and RNA fold into large, macromolecular chiral structures. As charged macromolecules, they absorb strongly in the terahertz due to large-scale collective vibrational modes; as chiral objects, this absorption should be coupled with significant circular dichroism. Terahertz circular dichroism (TCD) is potentially important as a biospecific sensor, unobscured by s...
متن کاملCircular dichroism spectroscopy of heparin-antithrombin interactions.
We have utilized circular dichroism spectroscopy to examine the interaction of antithrombin with heparin-derived oligosaccharides and mucopolysaccharides of various sizes. Our studies demonstrate that the various complexes exhibit two major types of chiral absorption spectra. The first of these patterns is seen when octasaccharide, decasaccharide, dodecasaccharide, or tetradecasaccharide fragme...
