THz and IR Spectroscopy of Molecular Systems That Simulate Function-Related Structural Changes of Proteins

الملخص EN

The activity of enzymes in organic solvents substantially increases in the presence of crown ethers.

Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (tris) is chosen as a model compound to simulate the interaction of surface amino groups of proteins with crown ether.

The methods of FTIR and time-domain THz spectroscopy are used to study the interaction of tris with 18-crown-6.

The THz spectra of the complexes are measured for the first time.
