Abstract
The Particle Beam apparatus can be used to desolvate proteins in preparation of IR measurements. Several experiments have been designed to determine whether the operation of the particle beam apparatus causes alternation to the complex structural features of globular proteins, and whether it produces a solid-state spectrum representative of the aqueous solution structure. (beta) -Lactoglobulin ((beta) LG), a milk protein with a structure well- characterized by infrared spectrometry, was chosen for this study. It is shown here that the structural integrity of this protein is maintained when nebulized, desolvated from solution, and deposited onto the IR-substrate. It is also possible to induce structural changes in proteins with the particle beam and a carrier-liquid concentration gradient.
