Characteristic Amide Vibrations
I - Most useful;
IR intense, less interference
(by solvent, other modes,etc)
Less mix (with other modes)
II - IR intense III - Raman Intense A – often obscured by solvent IV – VII – difficult to detect, discriminate ~3300 cm-1 ~1650 cm-1 1500-50 cm-1 1300-1250 cm-1 700 cm-1 mix
Also Raman Not Raman, unless RR Weak IR Multiple bands
Peptide conformation depends on f, y angles
Far UV absorbance broad, little fluorescence—coupling impact small
Detection requires method sensitive to amide coupling If (f,y) repeat, they determine secondary structure
Chromophores – amides are locally achiral CD has little signal without coupling, ideal for detection

Combining Techniques: Vibrational CD
“CD” in the infrared region
Probe chirality of vibrations goal stereochemistry Many transitions / Spectrally resolved / Local probes Technology in place -- separate talk Weak phenomenon - limits S/N / Difficult < 700 cm-1 Same transitions as IR same frequencies, same resolution Band Shape from spatial relationships neighboring amides in peptides/proteins Relatively short length dependence AAn oligomers VCD have DA/A ~ const with n vibrational (Force Field) coupling plus dipole coupling Development -- structure-spectra relationships Small molecules – theory / Biomolecules -- empirical, Recent—peptide VCD can be simulated theoretically

Amide I Amide II a coil DA
Tiffany and Krimm in 1968 noted similarity of Proline II and poly-lysine ECD and suggested “extended coil” Problem -- CD has local sensitivity to chiral site
- -IR not very discriminating
Nature of the peptide random coil form
Dukor and Keiderling 1991 with ECD, VCD, and IR showed Pron oligomers have characteristic random coil spectra Suggests -- local order, left-handed turn character
- - no long range order in random coil form
Same spectral shape found in denatured proteins, short
- ligopeptides, and transient forms
Dukor, Keiderling - Biopoly 1991
ECD of Pron oligomers Reference: Poly(Lys) – “coil”, pH 7
Greenfield & Fasman 1969

Single amide
Dukor, Keiderling - Biopoly 1991
Relationship to “random coil” - compare Pron and Glun
IR ~ same, VCD - same shape, half size -- partially ordered
Thermally unfolding “random coil” poly-L-Glu -IR, VCD T = 5oC (___) 25oC (- - -) 75oC (-.-.-) VCD loses magnitude IR shifts frequency “random coil” must have local order

Isotopic Labeling – old technique - new twist
Shift frequency by ~ (k/m)1/2 Tends to decouple from other modes, and can disrupt their exciton coupling Not intense, compare to polymer repeat Isolated oscillator (transition) in other modes Requirement: High S/N, good baseline focus on one band dispersive VCD?
