Abstract: | Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is the most common spectroscopic technique used for study of protein structure. Initially, band deconvolution techniques were applied to determine the secondary structure of proteins. Recently, several multivariate regression methods have been used to predict the secondary structure of proteins as an alternative to the previous methods. Multivariate curve resolution-alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) was applied on the FTIR spectra of proteins to resolve the fraction and spectral profiles of different structural motifs. Initial estimates of spectral profiles of different protein motifs were built using orthogonal projection approach (OPA). Predicted fractions of α-helix and β-sheet obtained by MCR-ALS technique were compared with those from partial least squares (PLS) modeling which revealed superiority of the former. If we consider the possibility of pure spectra prediction in addition to the prediction of secondary structure from the data set, MCR-ALS can be proposed as a very valuable alternative for qualitative and quantitative study of protein structures. |
