FTIR Difference Spectroscopy Studies on Membrane Proteins

Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrsocopy (FTIR) is a powerful technique that is well suited to the investigation of protonation/deprotonation reactions of individual side chains within proteins, as well as any changes that might occur in the strength of H-bonds any change in the overall protein structure. The method can be applied in a static manner, revealing differences between two defined states of a protein, or can be done in a time-dependent manner in the microsecond/millisecond time range.
