## Abstract Statistical copolymers (Lys^__x__^,Ala^__y__^)~__n__~ were synthesized by copolymerization of __N__‐carboxyanhydrides of L‐amino acids. The conformation of copolymers in aqueous solutions was investigated using circular dichroism (CD). Calculations based on the CD data showed that polym

## Abstract Conformational analysis of DNA–basic polypeptide complexes, based on stereo‐chemical criteria and energy calculations and experimental results, is reported. Three types of polypeptide conformations were selected: the distorted β conformation similar to that proposed by Feughelmann et al
The steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectra of complexes formed from a,S,y&tetrakis( 4-carboxyphenyl) porphin and the synthetic sequential polytripeptides poly(L-lysyl-lleucyl-Lalanine), (I) (MW 7900) and poly(L-lysyl-Galanyl-L alanine),, (II) (MW 6900) are studied in phosphate buffer (p
## Abstract Complexes of DNA with histone H1 and random and sequential polypeptides containing 30–100% of lysine were studied using actinomycin D as a probe. The binding of actinomycin D was measured by spectrophotometric titration in 0.15__M__ NaCl and in 0.01__M__ Tris buffer. The excluded‐site m
Conditions were studied under which aggregated complexes of histone F1 with DNA display a circular dichroic spectrum of nonconservat.ive type characterized by two intense negative maxima a t 269 nm and 209 nm. It was found that the intensity of the longwave band depends directly on the content of gu
## Abstract To date several studies have been carried out which indicate that DNA of crustacean sperm is neither bound nor organized by basic proteins and, contrary to the rest of spermatozoa, do not contain highly packaged chromatin. Since this is the only known case of this type among metazoan ce
