We demonstrated that sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy can distinguish different secondary structures of proteins or peptides adsorbed at solid/liquid interfaces. The SFG spectrum for tachyplesin I at the polystyrene (PS)/solution interface has a fingerprint peak corresponding to the B1/B3 mode of the antiparallel beta-sheet. This peak disappeared upon the addition of dithiothreitol, which can disrupt the beta-sheet structure. The SFG spectrum indicative of the MSI594 alpha-helical structure was observed at the PS/MSI594 solution interface. This research validates SFG as a powerful technique for revealing detailed secondary structures of interfacial proteins and peptides.
我们证明了和频振动光谱(SFG)能够区分吸附在固/液界面的蛋白质或肽的不同二级结构。在聚苯乙烯(PS)/溶液界面处,鲎素I的SFG光谱有一个对应于反平行β折叠的B1/B3模式的指纹峰。加入二硫苏糖醇后,这个峰消失了,因为二硫苏糖醇会破坏β折叠结构。在PS/MSI594溶液界面观察到了指示MSI594α螺旋结构的SFG光谱。这项研究证实了SFG是一种揭示界面蛋白质和肽详细二级结构的强大技术。
