| Details | The coordinates in this entry were generated from 13-C induced spectral shifts which give residue-specific secondary structure information. Peptide concentration was 47 micromolar. Peptide/SDS ratio was 1/200. FTIR spectra were averaged over 256 scans at a gain of 4 and a resolution of 2 cm-1 |
