Review Description

UV resonance Raman (UVRR) spectroscopy is a powerful tool for investigating the structure of biological molecules, such as proteins. Numerous UVRR spectroscopic markers that provide information on the structure and environment of the protein backbone and of amino acid side chains have recently been discovered. Combining these UVRR markers with hydrogen-deuterium exchange and advanced statistics is a powerful tool for studying protein systems, including the structure and formation mechanism of protein aggregates and amyloid fibrils. These techniques allow crucial new insights into the structure and dynamics of proteins, such as polyglutamine peptides, which are associated with 10 different neurodegenerative diseases. Here we summarize the spectroscopic structural markers recently developed and the important insights they provide.
