Table 2 Observed changes in relative peak absorbance values with corresponding biomolecules

From: Detection and quantification of poliovirus infection using FTIR spectroscopy and cell culture

Peak wavenumber (cm-1)

Corresponding biomolecules

Observed changes in cell absorbance following PV1 infection relative to uninfected control cells

700

(Broad) cis-C-H out-of-plane bend

General increase

835 - 840

C2' endo/anti (B-form helix) conformation and left handed helix DNA (Z form)

Gradual increase corresponding to increased PV1 titer

900 - 1350

Phosphodiester stretching bands (from absorbance due to collagen and glycogen)

Decrease; trend is less clear at higher PV1 titers

1040 - 100

Symmetric stretching vibration PO2 due to RNA and DNA

General increase

1079/80

Symmetric phosphate stretching modes or ν(PO2 −) symmetric. Phosphate stretching modes originate from the phosphodiester groups in nucleic acids.

Sharp increase in BGMK cells infected with 101 PFU/ml titer followed by a decrease in the 102 PFU/ml infected cells then a gradual height incremental with the higher titers.

1153

Stretching vibrations of hydrogen bonding

C-OH groups

Virus titer 102 PFU/ml shows a decrease

1236/7

Amide III, stretching PO2−asymmetric (phosphate I)

Decrease in the peak height for the cells infected with 102 and 103 PFU/ml; higher titers shown an increase

1312-1317

Collagen related, amide III band components of proteins

General increase

1455/6

Asymmetric CH3 bending modes of the methyl groups of proteins

General decrease

2852, 2873, 2924/5, 2956

Lipids region (CH2 symmetric, symmetric stretching vibration of CH3 of acyl chains, stretching C-H and asymmetric stretching vibration of CH3 of acyl chains respectively)

Decrease for infection titers 102 - 103 PFU/ml

3084

Stretching N-H symmetric

General increase

3293

OH stretching (associated)

General increase; increase gradually less from 101 - 106 PFU/ml titers
