Abstract
The helix–coil conformational transition undergone by poly(γ‐benzyl‐L‐glutamate) in solutions of trifluoroacetic acid and deuterated chloroform was studied by proton and carbon‐13 nmr. The results indicate that in the case of the solvent‐induced helix–coil transition, the side chain assumes a helical conformation before the backbone. In the thermally induced helix–coil transition, the results indicate the existence of an intermediate state, which is between the α‐helix and random coil and is free from intramolecular hydrogen bonding.

In this paper two points are considered: the methods of evaluating the helical content 8 and the calculation of the parameters of the transition from experimental data and its interpretation. The parameter AH obtained is in good agreement with the calorimetric one and v is found to be independent of

## Abstract The thermal helix–coil transition of four samples of poly(γ‐benzyl‐L‐glutamate) in the dioxane–dichloroacetic acid (DCA) mixture was studied by optical rotatory dispersion method. The transition occurred at very high DCA content (97.5% by weight) in this system. The transition parameter
