Abstract
Nanoscale infrared spectroscopy (AFMIR) is becoming an important tool for the analysis of biological sample, in particular protein assemblies, at the nanoscale level. While the amide I band is usually used to determine the secondary structure of proteins in Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, no tool has been developed so far for AFMIR. The paper introduces a method for the study of secondary structure of protein based on a protein library of 38 well-characterized proteins. Ascending stepwise linear regression (ASLR) and partial least square (PLS) regression were used to correlate spectrum characteristic bands with the major secondary structures (α-helixes and β-sheets). ASLR appears to provide better results than PLS. The secondary structure predictions are characterized by a root mean square standard error in a cross validation of 6.39% for α-helixes and 6.23% for β-sheets.
