The amide I band in the laser Raman spectrum of proteins was resolved into 6 components, each representing residues in a different type of secondary structure. These structure types are ordered or bihydrogen-bonded helix (believed to be located in the center of helical segments), disordered or monohydrogen-bonded helix (believed to be located at the ends of helical segments), antiparallel beta sheet, parallel beta sheet, reverse turn and undefined. The Raman spectrum representing 100% of each type of residue conformation was computed from the solvent-subtracted Raman spectra of 10 proteins with known secondary structure, plus poly-L-lysine using a least-squares solution of the overdetermined system of equations. Linear combinations of these reference spectra were then fitted to the experimental amide I spectra of these and other proteins to estimate the fractions of residues in these conformations. Statistical tests suggest that the discrimination between bihydrogen-bonded helix and monohydrogen-bonded helix is significant as is the discrimination between parallel and antiparallel .beta.-sheet. The discrimination between random structure and turns has not yet been accomplished by these studies. The absolute difference between X-ray and Raman estimates of structure for 17 protein samples is generally < 6%. Detailed and reasonably accurate estimates of secondary structure can be derived from the amide I spectra of proteins.
