Abstract
The Raman and ATR FT-IR spectra of rabbit liver metallothionein(MT) in the Tris-HCl buffer solution at pH 8.0 were observed and used to stud y the conformation in aqueous solution. The characteristic vibration f requencies of MT were identified and the results indicate that the met al-bound MT (hole-MT) consists of a large number of beta-turn of type II and a small number of beta-turn of type III.
