By probing the 206.5 and 229 nm excited Raman spectra, we showed that new bands are observed around 1700 and 1290cm-1. We assigned the 1700 cm-1 band to the hydrogen bonded ester carbonyl stretching vibration. In a polar solvent, VM-K+ complexation shows significant intensity changes in amide and ester carbonyl stretching region. Because of the small amount of conformational interconversion, complexation has a negligible effect on other band intensities including, the amide III, CαH, and amide II. We also showed the effects of the solvent polarity on the solution conformation of VM. © 2004 Elsevier B.V.
