Abstract
The values of maximum frequencies, intensities, and other spectral parameters of the main absorption bands of amino acid residue sideβchain groups have been obtained in the 1500β1800βcm^β1^ region for solutions in heavy water at pD 1β12. It is shown that absorption of residues of asparagine, glutamine, aspartic and glutamic acids, arginine, and tyrosine must be taken into account in quantitative studies of the infrared spectra of polypeptide and protein solutions in heavy water. Examples of separating out the amide I band for ribonuclease A in heavy water are given.

These side-chain partial molar volumes are critically compared with those obtained using V data for amino acids. It is concluded that side-chain partial molar volumes

Identification of halide-sensitive vibrational modes may make possible a more detailed understanding of the environments of the arginine in biological systems. We report stud
