Outline of Final Research Achievements

Biological protein and amino acid, was attempted to measure the absorption spectrum by using a THz spectrum analyzer. The quantification error in the absorption spectra was induced by the differences in coated state as a base material of Cellulose acetate membranes. To investigate the optimum coating conditions, it optimizes the coating amount and coating conditions per unit area using a material printer, was constructed sample preparation conditions suitable for the determination of THz absorption spectrum. Thus, the amino acid itself exhibit distinct absorption spectra, whereas, protein was revealed to be a broad absorption properties. Further, the spectrum was completely different between the mixed solution and individual amino acid.
