Abstract

Structural prediction and IR-characteristic bands assignment of arginine-containing tri- and tetrapeptides glycyl-glycyl-arginine (GGArg) and glycyl-glycyl-arginyl-alanine (GGArgAla) have been carried out, using linear-dichroic infrared (IR-LD) spectroscopy of oriented solid-samples in a nematic liquid crystal suspension. Spectroscopic data have been supported with ab initio analysis (Hartree-Fock level of theory and 6-31++G** basis set). Predicted geometry parameters have been compared with known crystallographic ones of similar peptides, indicating a good correlation.
