Investigation of Thermal Denaturation of Solid Oxytocin by Terahertz Dielectric Spectroscopy

The International Symposium on Photonics and Optoelectronics(SOPO 2014)——We investigate the thermal denaturation of solid oxytocin using terahertz time domain spectroscopy(THz-TDS). When the peptide is heated up from 25℃ to 107℃and cooled down to 25℃ again, an irreversible decrease in its THz absorption coefficient and refractive index is observed. The corresponding the frequency-dependent permittivity during heating is fitted by the Debye model with single relaxation time. The relaxation times during temperature rising agree very well with Arrhenius equation with the activation energy of 3.12kJ/mol as an indicator for its thermal denaturation difficulty.
