TL;DR: The equilibrium and kinetic features of the globular-to-fibrous transformation of the muscle protein actin are found to be explained reasonably by assuming that this transformation is a helical aggregation.

Infrared Spectra and Protein Conformations in Aqueous Solutions: I. THE AMIDE I BAND IN H2O AND D2O SOLUTIONS
TL;DR: The results indicate that characteristic frequencies exhibited by specific conformations of the investigated synthetic polypeptides are not transferable to corresponding conformation of globular proteins.

TL;DR: An extension of the spectral range of measurement toward optically active absorption bands in the far ultraviolet is expected to yield new information about the rotatory power of the peptide bond and thus enhance the interaction of theory and observation that has already proved fruitful.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the double-well potentials acting on the protons are highly asymmetric, and the probability of proton transfer in the hydrogen bonds of DNA is further discussed.
