Abstract

The adsorption on TiO2 surface of two dipeptides AE (L-alanine−L-glutamic acid) and AK (L-alanine−L-lysine), that are “building blocks” of the more complex selfcomplementary amphiphilic oligopeptides and are therefore a good model in the interpretation of the complex peptide spectra, has been investigated both theoretically and experimentally. The chemical structure and composition of thin films of both dipeptides on TiO2 were investigated by XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy). Theoretical ab-initio calculations (SCF) were also performed to simulate the spectra allowing a direct comparison between experiment and theory.
