Changes in the solvent dielectric properties are correlated with changes in polypeptide conformer populations. Gramicidin A, a peptide native to membrane environments, forms a variety of well deÐned dimeric conformations in relatively low dielectric organic solvents. However, changes in this environ
Poly-L-lysine exists as an a-helix at high pH and a random coil at neutral pH. When the a-helix is heated above 27ЊC, the macromolecule undergoes a conformational transition to a b-sheet. In this study, the stability of the secondary structure of poly-L-lysine in solutions subjected to shear flow, a
We developed an FTIR (Fourier transform infrared) methodology for quantitatively assessing the secondary structure of proteins suspended in nonaqueous media. This methodology was used to measure the percentages of ␣-helices and -sheets of subtilisin Carlsberg, prepared under different conditions, p
