In this paper, the effect of cation-π interactions on the aggregation propensity of peptides derived from human islet polypeptide (hIAPP) was explored using UV resonance Raman and fluorescence spectroscopy. By employing an analog of hIAPP<sub>22–29</sub> in which Phe-23 is replaced with tryptophan (NWGAILSS), we were able to demonstrate an increase in the amyloidogenic propensity of this mutant in the presence of Zn<sup>2+</sup> that is attributable to cation-π interactions. In contrast, no cation-π interactions were observed when the cationic F23R analog of hIAPP<sub>22–29</sub> (NRGAILSS) was allowed to interact with NWGAILSS. From these observations, it was surmised that in these peptides, the dominant interaction between arginine and tryptophan involves the π-cloud of the guanidino group and the indole ring, not cation-π interactions. The spectroscopic data, supported by density functional theory-based simulation results, suggest that arginine-tryptophan interaction involves π-π stacking where the guanidino group is oriented parallel to the indole ring. These hydrophobic interactions, coupled with the hydrotropic effect of the guanidine functionality of arginine, led to a delay in the aggregation kinetics of NWGAILSS.

Here, the influence of sample count, unwanted signals and different signal-to-noise ratios, spectrometer decalibration, baseline subtraction, and spectral normalization on ChemoSpace grouping is investigated and exemplified using synthetic spectra. Increase in sample size improves the dissociation of groups in the ChemoSpace, and our sample yields a representative and mostly stable pattern in occupation with less than 10 samples per group. The impact of systemic interference of different amplitude and frequency, periodical or random features that can be introduced by instrument or sample, on compositional biological signatures is reduced by PCA and allows to extract biological information even when spectra of differing signal-to-noise ratios are compared.
