Popis: Weak intermolecular interactions between proteins may lead to mutual adaption of their secondary structures with the consequence of modified bioactivities. The basic possibilities of protein-protein interactions are summarized in the light of their quantumchemically elucidated nature as well as their spectroscopic indications including modern mathematical tools for artficial resolution enhancement. In this way a clear differentiation between a mixture of proteins and their definite aggregates (complexes) becomes feasible. The example of insulin-polyglycine mixtures and complexes is used to demonstrate scope and limitations of the FT-IR spectroscopy in recognizing and interpreting protein-protein interactions.
