VSFG spectra of pure water (black) and a 20 M DAFP-1 solution (pH 7.

5) (red) at the airwater interface, measured in ssp

and psp polarization configuration. (a) VSFG spectrum of DAFP-1 (in red) in ssp shows several contributions belonging to CH-,
NH-, and OH-stretching vibrations. Among them are two sharp bands at 3300 and 3485 cm1. (b) In the psp spectrum of
DAFP-1 a single peak at 3320 cm1 is observed that we assign to the NH stretch vibration of the chiral, -helical fold of
DAFP-1.
