The technique of polarized Fourier transform infrared attenuated total reflectance spectroscopy has been applied to the study of oriented purple membranes of Halobacterium cutirubrum. This method offers a fast and simple approach for probing conformations of proteins in-situ and capable of obtaining polarized infrared spectra at an angle of incidence that is much greater than the Brewster angle.
