Resonance Raman spectroscopy of metalloporphyrins and metallochlorins.

Interactions of water-soluble metalloporphyrins with nucleic acids studied by resonance Raman spectroscopy.

The resonance Raman spectra of water-soluble porphyrins, M(TMpy-P4) (M = Cu(II), Ni(II) and Co(III] and their mixtures with poly(dG-dC)2, poly(dA-dT)2 and calf thymus and salmon DNAs were measured using a divided rotating cell to determine the magnitudes of frequency shift and intensity variation resulting from M(TMpy-P4)-nucleic acid interactions. Bands II(C beta-H bending, approximately 1100 ...

Tunable laser resonance raman spectroscopy of bacteriorhodopsin.

Bacteriorhodopsin is a rhodopsin-like protein found in the cell membrane of Halobacterium halobium. It shows an absorption maximum at 570 nm and, in the light, undergoes cyclic spectral changes which include a relatively long-lived complex absorbing maximally at 412 nm. Excitation profiles have been obtained with several laser frequencies for two vibrations in the resonance Raman spectrum of ba...

Resonance Raman spectroscopy of pyridoxal Schiff bases.

Resonance Raman (RR) spectra are reported for amino acid and amine adducts of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) and 5'-deoxypyridoxal (5'-dPL) in aqueous solution. For the valine adducts, a detailed study has been carried out on solutions at pH and pD 5, 9, and 13, values at which the pyridine and imine protons are successively ionized, and on the adducts formed from 15N-valine, alpha-deuterovaline,...

Advances in Analytical Resonance Raman Spectroscopy

• Exploring of the discrimination power of deep-UV RRS (excitation below 260 nm). This offers higher sensitivity and reduces fluorescence interference, but results in a reduced spectral information content Nevertheless, we could discriminate pyrene derivatives based on their RRS spectra.. With state-of-the-art computational methods we could simulate RRS spectra using linearresponse time-depende...
