Infrared (IR) Spectroscopy

December 17th 2024

A recent study by researchers from the University of Belgrade highlights the transformative potential of attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FT-IR) spectroscopy for analyzing protein structures. This versatile method not only provides insights into secondary structures but also excels at tracking aggregation processes, offering advantages over traditional techniques like X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.
