2D Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy

AI Thread Summary
2D Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (2D FTIR) is increasingly recognized for its applications in biology, particularly in understanding protein structure and dynamics. The frequency range of 400 nm to 1000 nm is significant as it corresponds to molecular vibrations, which are crucial for investigating protein shapes and binding interactions. This range can provide insights into conformational changes and interactions that are vital for biological functions. The referenced studies highlight the utility of this technique in exploring these aspects, although specific wavebands should be verified against the spectral window of interest for accurate application.

I'm recently new to the field of 2D Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and am learning its applications. I would like to know its applications in biology. Specifically, is there anything in the 400 nm to 1000 nm range that is important in protein structure, protein dynamics or biology in general? Thank-you.

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book. This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...
