The hydrolysis of bovine serum albumin with protease K at 60 degrees C has been studied by means of infrared spectroscopy. Two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2DCoS) has been used to study spectral changes in the reaction. The use of the multivariate curve resolution-alternating least-squares method applied to infrared measurements allowed the recovery of pure infrared spectra and concentration profiles of the different species involved in the reaction. Special attention was paid to the careful inspection of residuals again using 2DCoS. In this way, a heat-induced unfolding step previous to protein hydrolysis was identified. The infrared spectra of the intermediate species showed a more disordered structure than native albumin, the decrease in alpha-helix conformation being especially noticeable. The formation of beta-sheet aggregates due to heating was detected too.
