Question
Wavelength range of absorption for a peptide bond is
Explanation
The peptide bond possesses pi to pi* and n to pi* transitions absorbing strongly between 190-230 nm, with maximum near 190-195 nm and weaker shoulder near 210-220 nm. This far-UV absorption is exploited to quantify protein backbone concentration independent of aromatic side chains.
