Fig. 3. IR spectrum of Ca 2+ -free calmodulin (A) and of calmodulin saturated with<br />

Ca 2+ (B), both spectra are shown after D 2O-buffer subtraction. (C) Infrared difference<br />

spectrum, obtained by subtracting the spectrum of the Ca 2+ -bound form from the spectrum<br />

of the Ca 2+ -free form. Note that the absorbance scale for the difference spectrum<br />

was expanded by a factor of 4.<br />

water vapor for the sample and the reference. A sample shuttle that allows the<br />

background to be signal averaged almost concurrently with the sample is very<br />

helpful. Residual water vapor can then simply be subtracted from the sample<br />

spectrum by using prerecorded water vapor spectra. This is mandatory for pro-
