Infrared spectra of 13 globular proteins have been obtained in the 1800-1480-cm-1 region for H2O solutions. A method for estimating protein secondary structure from the ir spectrum has been developed. The method can also be used for estimating polypeptide and fibrous protein conformation. For the globular and fibrous proteins and polypeptides analyzed, the correlation coefficients between the ir and x-ray estimates of ordered helix, disordered helix, ordered beta-structure, disordered beta-structure, turns, and remainder were 0.98, 0.80, 0.99, 0.87, 0.90, and 0.92 respectively.

Unlabelled: Despite the remarkably high antioxidant activity of tocopherols, their applications in the food industry are limited because of their instability under various conditions. Complexes of α-tocopherol (α-TQ) or α-tocopheryl acetate (α-TQA) with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) or starch were prepared and characterized by UV-vis, IR and thermal analysis. Oxidative stability of α-TQ and α-TQA against HO was 74.

The sluggish kinetics of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) result in a high overpotential in alkaline solutions. A high-curvature metal oxide heterostructure can effectively boost the electrocatalytic HER by leveraging the tip-enhanced local electric field effect. Herein, NiP/NiMoO nanocones were synthesised on a nickel foam (NF) substrate by etching a metal-organic framework template.
