A New Basis for Interpreting the Circular Dichroic Spectra of Proteins
Open accessAbstract
Experimental circular dichroic (CD) spectra of three proteins have been combined with estimates of the content of peptide-chain structural modes obtained from x-ray diffraction studies of the same proteins. Solution of the simultaneous equations at a series of wavelengths permits the construction of a CD spectrum for each of three structural modes: α-helix, β-structure, and the so-called “random”. The CD spectra thus obtained are compared with those obtained from polypeptide models. The α-helical spectra from the two approaches are nearly congruent, the β-structure spectra are in fair agreement, and the third forms agree qualitatively, but are substantially different quantitatively. Comparisons are made between the present approach and earlier approaches to interpreting protein CD spectra. Certain advantages of the present approach are indicated.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
