Terahertz Spectroscopy of Tetrameric Peptides
2019
Determining the sequence and structure of peptides is crucial for understanding their structure–property relationships. Among many techniques, structures are typically elucidated using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction measurements. In this study, we present terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) as a complementary, nondestructive technique that is sensitive to both the primary and secondary structures of tetrapeptides. Using only a few milligrams of peptide, THz-TDS spectra have been measured, some of which have been supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, to distinguish six tetrameric peptides with similar primary and secondary structures.
