Amyloid fibril formation occurs in restricted environment, such as the interface between intercellular fluids and bio-membranes. Conformational interconversion from α-helix to β-structure does not progress in fluids; however, it can occur after sedimentary aggregation during amyloid fibril formation induced by heat treatment of hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL). Secondary structures of various proteins and denatured proteins titrated with 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) were examined using their CD spectra. Gaussian peak/trough and singular value decompositions (SVD) showed that the spectral pattern of the α-helix comprised a sharp trough at wavelength 207 nm and a broad trough at 220 nm. Conversely, we distinguished two patterns for β-sheet—a spread barrel type, corresponding to ConA, and a tightly weaved type, corresponding to the soybean trypsin inhibitor. Herein, we confirmed that the spectral/conformational interconversion of the heat-treated HEWL was not observed in the dissolved fluid. |
