Raman spectra of native and solubilized feather keratin [from Anas platyrhynchos] were obtained, and the amide I and amide III regions were analyzed by band resolution techniques. The amide I region of the native form indicates that at least 64% of the protein has an antiparallel chain pleated sheet structure, the remainder being unordered. For the solubilized keratin all of the protein is in an unordered state. The amide III region is not as easily analyzed into component contributions. Normal vibration analyses on N-acetyl-L-alanine-N-methylamide support the conclusion that the amide III region is not as satisfactory as the amide I region in characterizing unordered structures. Even in the latter case caution must be used, since the observed amide I band is an average over the conformational distribution in the particular unordered system.
