Using circular dichroism spectra to estimate protein secondary structure

TL;DR: This protocol details the basic steps of obtaining and interpreting CD data, and methods for analyzing spectra to estimate the secondary structural composition of proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estimation of Protein Secondary Structure from Circular Dichroism Spectra: Comparison of CONTIN, SELCON, and CDSSTR Methods with an Expanded Reference Set

TL;DR: Analyzing protein CD spectra using all three methods should improve the reliability of predicted secondary structural fractions, and three programs are provided in CDPro software package and have been modified for easier use with the different reference sets described in this paper.

Examination of the secondary structure of proteins by deconvolved FTIR spectra.

TL;DR: Fourier transform ir (FTIR) spectra of 21 globular proteins have been obtained, revealing that the amide I band of each protein except casein consists of six to nine components, although all proteins do not exhibit components at every characteristic frequency.

Role of a Buried Acid Group in the Mechanism of Action of Chymotrypsin

TL;DR: Polarization of the system due to the buried negative charge of the aspartic acid residue would make the serine oxygen strongly nucleophilic and would explain its reactivity towards amides and esters.

Three-dimensional Structure of Tosyl-α-chymotrypsin

TL;DR: In this paper, a model for the structure of an inhibited derivative of an enzyme which hydrolyses proteins was proposed based on a map of the electron density distribution at 2 A resolution and interpreted in terms of a previously reported sequence of 241 amino-acids.
