Attenuated total reflection (ATR)/infrared (IR) spectra were measured for human serum albumin (HSA) in aqueous solutions over a pH range of 5.0−3.2. Generalized two-dimensional (2D) correlation analysis was applied to the amide I region of the spectra to investigate pH-dependent changes in secondary structures and in hydrogen bondings of side chains of HSA. The synchronous and asynchronous 2D spectra were generated from the pH-dependent spectral variations for the three states of HSA, the N isomeric form (pH 5.0−4.4), the N−F transition (pH 4.6−3.8), and the F isomeric form (pH 3.8−3.0). The most interesting finding in the 2D spectra is identification of four bands at 1740, 1715, 1705, and 1696 cm-1 due to a CO stretching mode of free and hydrogen bonded (weak, medium, and strong) COOH groups of HSA. The 2D correlation analysis provides unambiguous evidence for the existence at least the four CO bands, demonstrating its powerful deconvolution ability. The asynchronous spectrum of the N form is characteriz...
