Isotope-edited FTIR spectroscopy has been shown to be able to determine peptide's structure in the residue level in D2O, which is not a physiological solvent. Here, attenuated total reflection technique was utilized to successfully apply isotope-edited FTIR spectroscopy in H2O to determine the conformation of specific residues in a model peptide.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
