Therefore, it may offer insight into the investigation of both primary and secondary myopathies. In our work we use microFTIR to identify unique spectral markers associated with disease progression. For this purpose, muscle tissues from patients diagnosed with dystrophy and myopathy, as well as control tissues, were subjected to probing. The results reveal significant differences in the distribution of lipid, protein, and nucleic acid absorption bands among the sample groups, particularly in regions associated with muscle fibre and connective tissue structure.

In addition, the use of synchrotron radiation FTIR microspectroscopy enabled precise analysis of endomysium-specific changes.

In this research, we investigated the interactions of GA and ISL with HMGB1 using multi-spectroscopy, surface plasmon resonance (SPR), and molecular docking. Fluorescence spectroscopy revealed that GA or ISL binds to HMGB1, leading to static fluorescence quenching of the protein. Additionally, the binding of GA or ISL altered the microenvironment of tryptophan and decreased the α-helix content of HMGB1 to varying extents. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) showed that GA induced aggregation of the HMGB1 complex into large particles, while ISL reduced the particle size of HMGB1.
