Spectra manager analysis software

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis of the silk coatings was performed with a Jasco FT/IR-6200 spectrometer (Easton, MD), equipped with a multiple reflection horizontal Miracle attenuated total reflectance (ATR) attachment (ZnSe crystal, from Pike Tech., Madison, WI). For each measurement, 64 scans were performed each with nominal resolution of 4 cm⁻¹. The secondary structures of the protein samples were identified from the absorption spectra, peak positions of the amide I region (1595–1705 cm⁻¹) were obtained after Fourier self-deconvolution. Curve fitting was performed using Jasco Spectra-Manager Analysis Software (Jasco, Easton MD), as previously described ^{18 (link)}.

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis of the silk films was performed with a Jasco FT/IR-6200 spectrometer (Easton, MD), equipped with a multiple reflection, horizontal MIRacle attenuated total reflectance (ATR) attachment (ZnSe crystal, from Pike Tech., Madison, WI). For each measurement, 128 scans were performed each with nominal resolution of 4 cm^-1. To identify secondary structures in the protein samples peak positions of the amide I region (1595-1705 cm^-1) were determined based on the absorption spectra. Fourier self-deconvolution and curve fitting were performed using Jasco Spectra-Manager Analysis Software (Jasco, Easton MD), as we have previously described^{32 (link)}.
