Vibrational Analysis of Crystalline Triglycine*
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have refined vibrational force fields for polypeptides that permit excellent reproduction of the normal mode frequencies of such molecules. This is demonstrated in the present study, in which 80 IR and Raman bands of crystalline triglycine between 1800 and 200 cm-’ are reproduced with an average error of 6 cm-‘. A deuterated sample is shown by normal mode analysis to have remained protonated at the C-terminal peptide group. Such results show that normal mode analysis can now provide a rigorous base for spectral studies of conformation in peptides and proteins.

Spectroscopy, Structural, and Optical Investigations of NiFe2O4 Ferrite
Ni ferrite crystalline material is synthesized using a sol-gel method at two different temperatures. The vibrational and stretching modes, crystalline phase, size distribution and morphology of the products are investigated via Raman back-scattering and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, XRD and FESEM, respectively. Vibrational modes of spinel ferrite are observed at Raman and FTIR...
متن کاملMetabolism of diglycine and triglycine by non-filtering kidneys.
We have studied the metabolism of diglycine and triglycine in the isolated non-filtering rat kidney. Kidneys from adult male Wistar Kyoto rats weighing 250-350 g were perfused with Krebs-Henseleit solution containing either 1 mM diglycine or triglycine. The analysis of the peptide residues and their components was performed using an amino acid microanalyzer utilizing ion exchange chromatography...
متن کاملExperimental and finite element vibrational analysis of exhaust manifold heat shield
Most of internal combustion engines have one or two heat shields that have been installed on the exhaust manifold to avoid the heat transfer to upper parts of the engine such as the valve cover. In some engines, this part fails due to the fracture and causes engine noise and other failures in the engine. In this paper, the failure of a heat shield due to vibrational loads of the engine has been...
متن کاملThe structure of crystalline and membrane-bound gramicidin A by vibrational analysis.
The results of normal mode calculations on the beta 4.4, beta 6.3, beta 5.6, and beta 7.2 structures of gramicidin A are compared with infrared and Raman spectra of crystalline native, crystalline Cs+-bound, and vesicle-bound gramicidin A. The observed frequencies and frequency splittings are in good agreement with an assignment of beta 5.6, beta 7.2, and beta 6.3 structures, respectively, to t...
متن کاملVibrational analysis of conformation in peptides, polypeptides, and proteins.
A vibrational force field for the polypeptide chain has been developed for normal-mode analysis of such molecules. I t can reproduce observed frequencies of known structures to within about 5 cm-l. We review the application of this technique to conformational problems in peptides (@-turns and their model compounds), polypeptides [the aII-helix and crystalline poly(g1ycine II)], and proteins (ba...
