Tetrapyrrole-containing proteins are one of the most fundamental classes of enzymes in
nature and it remains an open question to give a chemical rationale for the multitude of …

The view that the large red shifts seen in the UV− visible absorption bands of peripherally
crowded nonplanar porphyrins are the result of nonplanar deformations of the macrocycle …

Abstract A series of 5, 15-disubstituted and 5, 10, 15, 20-tetrasubstituted, and 5, 10, 15, 20-
tetrasubstituted-2, 3, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 18-octaethyl nickel (II) porphyrins in dichloromethane is …

Heme proteins are known to perform a plethora of biologically important functions. This
article reviews work that has been conducted on various class I cytochrome c proteins over a …

We have measured the band profile of amide I in the infrared, isotropic, and anisotropic
Raman spectra of L-alanyl-D-alanyl-L-alanine, acetyl-L-alanyl-L-alanine, L-vanyl-L-vanyl-L …

A reliable intrinsic propensity scale of amino acid residues is indispensable for an
assessment of how local conformational distributions in the unfolded state can affect the …

The present article reports the conformation of cationic tetraalanine in aqueous solution. The
determination of the dihedral angles of the two central amino acid residues was achieved by …

We have measured the polarized visible Raman and FTIR spectra of trialanine and triglycine
in D2O at acid, neutral, and alkaline pD. From the Raman spectra we obtained the isotropic …

We have combined Fourier transform IR, polarized Raman spectroscopy, and vibrational CD
measurements of the amide I′ band profile of alanyl-X-alanine tripeptides in 2H2O to …

Infrared and polarized Raman spectroscopy are ideal tools to probe changes of water
structure caused by the addition of water soluble polymers. In this paper, we investigate how …
