The frequency of the so-called "amide I" band (amide C=O stretching vibration, vC=O) of proteins is discussed in terms of the dihedral angles of the various secondary structures present within proteins. We propose that in the case of intra- or intermolecular hydrogen-bonded amide carbonyl groups the frequency of this absorption can be directly related to the [Formula: see text], ψ angles of the amide moieties for the major secondary structures. Amide I bands at frequencies above those found for non-hydrogen bonded amide carbonyl groups are rationalized in terms of a change in the third dihedral angle, ω. Rotation around the amide C—N bond in sterically demanding structures, such as turns where ω deviates from 180°, is expected to cause an increase in the electron density of the amide carbonyl groups and so increase vC=O to frequencies greater than that seen for unperturbed carbonyl groups. Key words: FT-IR spectroscopy, proteins, structure, dihedral angles.

In this paper, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy is used to study the thermal properties of methyl silsesquioxane (MSQ), an important low-dielectric-constant organic spin-on glass for semiconductor device fabrication. The compositional and structural changes of MSQ with temperature are investigated in detail. The cross-linking process, where the three-dimensional networked structure is formed, is found to start at room temperature, and is almost complete at the typical baking temperature of 250 °C. Further cross-linking occurs during the curing process at 425 °C, and small short-chain clusters can also be driven away at this temperature by sublimation. In this study, we have assigned all the MSQ IR peaks and we have used the long-chain O–Si–O IR peak to calculate the “degree of cross-linking” quantitatively.

In recent decades, vibrational spectroscopic methods such as Raman and FT-IR spectroscopy are widely applied to investigate plasma and serum samples. These methods are combined with drop coating deposition techniques to pre-concentrate the biomolecules in the dried droplet to improve the detected vibrational signal. However, most often encountered challenge is the inhomogeneous redistribution of biomolecules due to the coffee-ring effect. In this study, the variation in biomolecule distribution within the dried-sample droplet has been investigated using Raman and FT-IR spectroscopy and fluorescence lifetime imaging method. The plasma-sample from healthy donors were investigated to show the spectral differences between the inner and outer-ring region of the dried-sample droplet. Further, the preferred location of deposition of the most abundant protein albumin in the blood during the drying process of the plasma has been illustrated by using deuterated albumin. Subsequently, two patients with different cardiac-related diseases were investigated exemplarily to illustrate the variation in the pattern of plasma and serum biomolecule distribution during the drying process and its impact on patient-stratification. The study shows that a uniform sampling position of the droplet, both at the inner and the outer ring, is necessary for thorough clinical characterization of the patient’s plasma and serum sample using vibrational spectroscopy.
