| Abstract | A prerequisite for the understanding of functional molecules like proteins is the elucidation of their structure under reaction conditions. Chiral vibrational spectroscopy is one option for this purpose, but provides only indirect access to this structural information. By first-principles calculations, we investigate how Raman optical activity (ROA) signals in proteins are generated and how signatures of specific secondary-structure elements arise. As a first target we focus on helical motifs and consider polypeptides consisting of twenty alanine residues to represent α-helical and $3_{10}-helical$ secondary-structure elements. Although ROA calculations on such large molecules have not been carried out before, our main goal is the stepwise reconstruction of the ROA signals. By analyzing the calculated ROA spectra in terms of rigorously defined localized vibrations, we investigate in detail how total band intensities and band shapes emerge. We find that the total band intensities can be understood in terms of the reconstructed localized vibrations on individual amino acid residues. Two different basic mechanisms determining the total band intensities can be established, and it is explained how structural changes affect the total band intensities. The band shapes can be rationalized in terms of the coupling between the localized vibrations on different residues, and we show how different band shapes arise as a consequence of different coupling patterns. As a result, it is demonstrated for the chiral variant of Raman spectroscopy how collective vibrations in proteins can be understood in terms of well-defined localized vibrations. Based on our calculations, we extract characteristic ROA signatures of α helices and of $3_{10}-helices,$ which our analysis directly relates to differences in secondary structure. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
