On 'Fourier transform infrared study of proteins with parallel ß-chains' by Heino Susi, D. Michael Byler.

ABSTRACT

In 1987, Susi & Byler published a groundbreaking paper for the determination of the secondary structure of proteins. Notably, they determined the characteristic signature of the ß-strand in the infrared spectrum. As a result, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy became a general method to determine protein structure.
