Abstract
The FTIR (micro-)spectroscopy method applied to the study of the structural properties of different soluble and insoluble proteins will be illustrated. In particular, we will discuss the procedure to analyze proteins in form of hydrated films and in solution by means of attenuated total reflection (ATR) measurements. Moreover, we will describe the procedure to characterize bacterial inclusion bodies (IBs) and amyloid deposits within human tissues by means of FTIR microspectroscopy.Entities:
