In this work, we report mid-IR transmission measurements of the protein amide I band in aqueous solution at large optical paths. A tunable external-cavity quantum cascade laser (EC-QCL) operated pulsed mode room temperature allowed one to apply a path length up 38 μm, which is four times larger than that applicable with conventional FT-IR spectrometers. To minimize temperature-induced variations caused by background absorption ν2-vibration water (HOH-bending) overlapping region, highly...

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy are analytical techniques employed for the analysis of protein secondary structure. The use CD is limited to low concentrations (<2 mg ml(-1)), while FTIR commonly used in a higher concentration range (>5 ml(-1)). Here we introduce quantum cascade laser (QCL)-based IR transmission setup polypeptide structure at as 0.25 ml(-1) deuterated buffer solution. We present dynamic QCL-IR spectra temperature-induced α-helix...

In this work, a novel EC-QCL-based setup for mid-IR transmission measurements in the amide I region is introduced monitoring dynamic changes secondary structure of proteins. For purpose, α-chymotrypsin (aCT) acts as model protein, which gradually forms intermolecular β-sheet aggregates after adopting non-native α-helical induced by exposure to 50 % TFE. order showcase versatility presented setup, effects varying pH values and protein concentration on rate β-aggregation were studied. The...

The high demand, cost, and low regulations surrounding high-quality edible oils (HQEO) make them a target for fraudulent actions, particularly adulteration with refined oils. Consequently, the authentication of this kind oil is great interest. This work assessed degree five HQEOs: sesame, flaxseed, chia, rapeseed, extra virgin olive oils, using different chemometric strategies to enhance detection capability analytical methodology. Refined used as adulterants were evaluated at concentrations...
