摘要:
The rapid increase in sequence data in combination with a greater understanding of the forces regulating protein structure has been the impetus for an upsurge in the development of theoretical prediction methods. These methods have afforded protein chemists the ability to identify and quantify the various secondary structures along the protein chain. Concurrently, various physico‐chemical techniques have been developed such as nuclear Overhauser enhancement n.m.r. and laser Raman spectroscopy. In addition, traditional methods such as infrared and circular dichroism spectroscopy have been refined. Although both predictive and physico‐chemical techniques are limited in the types of secondary structure they are capable of determining, they have provided valuable information with regards to protein folding and topology in the absence of X‐ray data, and have formed the basis for the development of improved methods for secondary structure determination. This paper reviews some of the predictive and physico‐chemical methods presently used to determine protein secondary st
