Yv. Morozov et al., AUTOMATIC-DETERMINATION OF REFERENCE CIRCULAR-DICHROISM SPECTRA OF PROTEIN SECONDARY-STRUCTURE ELEMENTS WITH ACCOUNT OF AROMATIC CONTRIBUTION, Molecular biology, 29(1), 1995, pp. 79-83
An algorithm was developed which allows determination of reference CD
spectra of protein secondary-structure elements from the spectra of pr
oteins with a known content of these elements. It accounts for the con
tribution of aromatic amino acid side chains. These spectra call be us
ed to determine the percentage of secondary-structure elements in vari
ous proteins.
