When p = 22 mN/m, spectral calculations show that the experimental Amide I/Amide II intensity ratio corresponds to a helix axis parallel to the interface. As p increases, the ratio decreases indicating that the helix progressively straightens up. At the highest surface pressure, the tilt angle with respect to the surface plane can be estimated to about 50 . Inserted in a DMPC monolayer at the air–water interface, the diblock L10K5 and K5L10 peptides also show different behavior if they are present as a mixture or not (Fig.

When the b-sheet plane is perpendicular to the interface with the carbonyl parallel to the interface plane (c = 0 and u = 0 ), the spectrum presents a strong positive Amide I band (%1625 cmÀ1) and weak negative components for the Amide I’ (%1690 cmÀ1) and Amide II (%1540 cmÀ1) bands.
Brewster angle microscopy pictures display an important and homogeneous increase of reflectance and are characteristic of an organized collapse from a bi- to a tridimensional system. To go further in the identification of these thick layers, PM-IRRAS spectra were recorded. In the 1800–900 cmÀ1 region, they display an increase in the intensity of all bands compared to the spectrum of a pure compact BGTC/DOPE monolayer at 40 mN/m (Fig. 18A). Since all the bands can contain contributions of both lipid and DNA, we investigate in parallel the 3000–2800 cmÀ1 spectral region of the asymmetric (nas(CH2)) and symmetric (nsCH2) stretching bands located at 2920 and 2850 cmÀ1, respectively, mainly characteristic of the lipids chains and free of DNA contribution (Fig.
