description | In recent years, self-assembled peptides’ and amino acids’ (SAPA) micro- and nanostructures have gained much research interest. Here, description of how SAPA architectures can be characterized using polarization-based optical measurement methods is provided. The measurement methods discussed include: polarized Raman spectroscopy, polarized imaging microscopy, birefringence imaging, and fluorescence polarization. An example of linear polarized waveguiding in an amino acid Histidine microstructure is discussed. The implementation of a polarization-based measurement method for monitoring peptide self-assembly processes and for deriving molecular orientation of peptides is also described. |
