Assessment of the Inhibitory Effect of Rifampicin on Amyloid Formation of Hen Egg White Lysozyme: Thioflavin T Fluorescence Assay versus FTIR Difference Spectroscopy

Figure 4

FTIR results for the inhibitory effect of rifampicin on HEWL fibrillation (a) without rifampicin in the incubation solution and (b) with rifampicin in the incubation solution. Dash line: raw spectrum taken during the lag phase; solid line: raw spectrum taken at the end of incubation. Inset: difference spectrum.
