Vibrational spectroscopy has been used extensively in investigations of the structure of proteins14 and has yielded valuable information on the intra-and intermolecular interactions contributing to the stability of protein structures. The application of vibrational spectroscopic techniques to structural studies on biological macromolecules has depended, to a considerable extent, on a well-developed theoretical framework explaining the molecular origin of the observed vibrations, and on the use of structurally wellcharacterized model compounds4 to simplify the analysis of the observed spectra. An adequate theoretical background has not yet been developed for collagen, the principal structural protein in vertebrates and invertebrates. Collagen has a unique triple-helical structure in which the three intertwined polypeptide chains exist in a polyproline I1 type of conformation? Collagen contains more imino residues than any other major proteins and the stereochemical characteristics and interactions of imino peptide bonds play a predominant role in the generation of the collagen fold. Numerous studies on collagen and several collagenlike polypeptides6 suggest that conformation-determining interactions, such as hydrogen bonding, in collagen are different from the interactions found in other proteins.The study of such interactions is complicated by the fact that the distribution of imino residues along the (1100 residue) polypeptide chain is not uniform: in fact, some areas of the basic repeating Gly-XX tripeptides are especially rich in imino residues and thus are likely to mimic the polyproline I1 helix more closely than other regions that are sparse in imino residues. We have investigated, via FT ir and Raman spectroscopies, both iminodeficient as well as imino-rich model peptides to identify vibrational spectral features of collagen. In the former class of model compounds, we have studied Ala-Gly-Gly, which is known to exist in the solid in a collagenlike association (see Ref. 7 and references cited therein). Its vibrational features exhibit certain similarities to the ones observed in co1lagen.% l2
