Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy is becoming an increasingly important method to study protein secondary structure. The amide I region of the protein infrared spectrum is the widely used region, whereas the amide III region has been comparatively neglected due to its low signal. Since there is no water interference in the amide III region and, more importantly, the different secondary structures of proteins have more resolved differences in their amide III spectra, it is quite promising to use the amide III region to determine protein secondary structure. In our current study, a partial least squares (PLS) method was used to predict protein secondary structures from the protein IR spectra. The IR spectra of aqueous solutions of 16 different proteins of known crystal structure have been recorded, and the amide I, the anode III, and the amide I combined with the amide III region of these proteins were used to set up the calibration set for the PLS algorithm. Our results correlate quite well with the data from X-ray studies, and the prediction from the amide III region is better than that from amide I or combined amide I and amide III regions.
