3D protein structure determination by THz Spectroscopy and molecular modelling: case study on Bovine Serum Albumin
TERAHERTZ AND MID INFRARED RADIATION: BASIC RESEARCH AND PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS, WORKSHOP PROCEEDINGS, 49-50, 2009

THz spectroscopy is a very powerful tool in investigating the vibrational modes and conformational transitions of biomolecules. Here we have used THz spectroscopy to study the vibrational spectrum of bovine serum albumin, a protein whose 3D structure is yet unknown. Experimental data were fitted with theoretical spectra obtained by normal modes analysis of BSA structures generated by homology modeling.
