Abstract
During the past two decades methods of vibrational spectroscopy have become valuable tools for the study of structural properties and dynamical processes of proteins and particularly of chromoproteins (for a review see e.g. [1]). Such spectra generally exhibit a rich and complex structure and, in the range above 800 cm-1, contain a wealth of information about local bonding structures in a coded fashion. Currently only a small part of that information can actually be extracted from the spectra since its decoding still poses a mayor theoretical problem.
