## Abstract Six sequential polytetrapeptides containing equimolar amounts of tyrosine, glutamic acid, alanine, and glycine were characterized by CD and difference spectroscopy over a wide range of pH. As the pH was lowered from physiological values, each of the polymers underwent pHβsensitive trans

β¦ Synopsis
The polytripeptides poly(glu(0Et)-ply-gly) and poly(glu(0Et)-glu(0Et)-gly) have been synthesized and characterized using infrared linear dichroism, ultraviolet circular dichroism spectroscopy, and electron microscopy. Both polymers have been obtained in a cross j 3 conformation with antiparallel chains, however, there appear to be significant differences in the stability of this conformation for the two polymers. Poly(glu(0Et)gly-gly) has also been shown to exist in a 31 polyglycine I1 type helix in aqueous solution whereas films cast from this solution appear to be random. Finally this same polymer can be obtained in either a random or an extended form from trifluoroacetic acid depending on the nature of the substrate used for film casting.
