The spectroscopic authenticity of a very intense negative band at about 183 nm reported previously from conventional circular dichroism (c.d.) studies of bovine plasma fibronectin has now been confirmed by vacuum ultraviolet c.d. measurements on two prototype spectrometers, one using a conventional light source and the other using synchrotron radiation. Closely similar spectra were obtained from both instruments, and from both solid films and solutions. The spectra show no obvious parentage in the known c.d. of the peptide backbone, but have marked similarities to the c.d. of N-acetyltyrosineamide, both in the strong band at 183 nm and in a characteristic positive band at 230 nm, It is concluded that the c.d. of fibronectin is dominated by contributions from tyrosine side-chains and that, as suggested previously, these may provide a sensitive probe for molecular organization and interactions.
