The p-coil transition of poly(S-carboxymethyl-L-cysteine) (poly[Cys(CHzCOpH)]) and poly(S-carboxyethyl-L-cysteine) (poly[Cys((CHz)zCOzH)]) was followed by CD, potentiometric titration, and viscosity in the absence of added salt. These different properties give consistent results for poly[Cys((CHz)zC

✦ Synopsis
The interaction of CuC1, with poly(Scarboxymethy1-L-cysteine) (poly[Cys(CH,COOH)]) and poly(Scarboxyethy1-L-cysteine) (poly[Cys(CzH,COOH)]) were studied by absorption spectra and circular dichroism (CD). On mixing CuClz with polypeptide solutions, absorption bands appeared at 32C-325 nm in both polypeptides, and at 255-260 nm in the case of poly[Cys(CH,COOH)]. A stable bound species was formed in the case of poly[Cys(CH,COOH)], since the apparent molar absorption coefficient of the bound species did not depend on the mixing ratio. From the absorption data, it was inferred that Cu2+ ions were complexed with the side chains, most probably with sulfur atoms and carboxyl groups. Induced optical activities were observed for the two polypeptides. The CD spectra of poly[Cys(CH,COOH)] + CuCl, gave simpler aspects than those of poly[Cys(C,H,COOH)] + CuC1,.
