Abstract

Abstract : The activity of enzymes in organic solvents substantially increases in the presence of crown ethers. Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (tris) is chosen as a model compound to simulate the interaction of surface amino groups of proteins with crown ether. The methods of FTIR and time-domain THz spectroscopy are used to study the interaction of tris with 18-crown-6. The THz spectra of the complexes are measured for the first time.
