Helburn, Robin; Nolan, Kathleen – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
Infrared (IR) spectra of biologically derived materials display distinct absorption bands correlating to individual macromolecules: protein, polysaccharide, lipid, and nucleic acids. A series of experiments aimed at teaching qualitative bioorganic spectroscopy using attenuated total reflectance (ATR) Fourier transform infrared (IR) with biological…
