The Use and Misuse of FTIR Spectroscopy in the Determination of Protein Structure

Jackson, Michael, Mantsch, Henry H.·1995·Critical Reviews in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

Abstract

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is an established tool for the structural characterization of proteins. However, many potential pitfalls exist for the unwary investigator. In this review we critically assess the application of FTIR spectroscopy to the determination of protein structure by (1) outlining the principles underlying protein secondary structure determination by FTIR spectroscopy, (2) highlighting the situations in which FTIR spectroscopy should be considered the technique of choice, (3) discussing the manner in which experiments should be conducted to derive as much physiologically relevant information as possible, and (4) outlining current methods for the determination of secondary structure from infrared spectra of proteins.

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.
