Infrared spectroscopy is an analytical technique for studying the structure of organic molecules and is being used increasingly in the biological and biochemical fields. It can be used to determine the structures of proteins and enzymes and has forensic applications such as the analysis of blood for drugs. Written in the ACOL open learning style, this text provides an introduction to infrared spectroscopy aimed specifically at biologists and biochemists. It includes details of experimental methods, instrumentation, interpretation and analysis of the infrared spectra of materials of biological importance such as proteins, peptides, lipids, biomembranes and nucleic acids.
