## Abstract The helix–coil phase transition of DNA is studied through a model equivalent to the one used in the theory of superconductivity. A distribution function for the excitations analogous to the usual Fermi function is obtained which depends on the parameter __T__~__0__~, the maximum tempera

The statistical mechanical theory for the helix-to-random-coil transition in two-chain coiled coils is applied to extant data for two synthetic coiled-coil polypeptides. These peptides have the primary structure K(LEALEGK),, in which n = 4,5. This repeating heptet sequence mimics the pattern of hydr
We calculate the partial molar volumes and their changes associated with the coil(extended)-to-helix transition of two types of peptide, glycine-oligomer and glutamic acid-oligomer, in aqueous solutions by using the Kirkwood-Buff solution theory coupled with the three-dimensional reference interacti
## Abstract The double‐helical complex formed from m^6^m^9^A and poly U has been characterized by circular dichroism and u.v. spectrophotometry. The circular dichroism of the complex is similar to that of the double‐helical poly A poly U complex both in shape and in magnitude and thus indicates a q
