Outline of Final Research Achievements |
IR spectroscopy is one of the powerful tools for investigation of structure of proteins. However, it is difficult to measure IR spectra in aqueous aqueous solution because large IR absorption of water. In this study, we developed a novel transient fluorescence-detected resonance IR spectroscopy, and succeeded the measurement of IR spectrum of flavin mononucleotide, that is one of the fluorescent protein chromosphere, in aqueous solution. Measured spectrum was compared with these measured by Raman spectroscopy. These results will be regarded as the data very useful for the measurement of IR spectrum of fluorescence protein chromosphere.
