Spectroscopy of Biological Molecules

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 139))

Abstract

Far-infrared spectra in the 20 – 500 cm-1region are presented for solid layers of L-alanine and several proteins. A special study is devoted to the spectroscopy of films of amino- acids, homopolypeptides and proteins which were cast from solutions of trifluoro-acetic acid for investigating the chemical binding of this strong denaturing agent to the biomolecules.
