We report the rircular dirhroism (0) spectrum of poly-L-acetoxyproline in trifluoroethanol, a solvent in which the form I to form I1 conformational isomerization orcurs slowly enough to permit observation of the spectral changes. A romparison is made to poly-L-proline. As judged by the similarity of

Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD), the differential absorption of circularly polarized light by vibrational transitions, is a new technique of potential use for stereochemical analysis.13 Recent instrumental developments have allowed extension of the VCD technique down to 1250 cm-l, thereby encom
## Abstract Circular dichroism spectra for acidβsoluble calfskin collagen, gelatin, and poly(proline) II in solution have been extended into the vacuum ultraviolet region. The extended spectrum of gelatin reveals that the circular dichroism of this unordered polymer is more closely related to the s
## Abstract The positive circular dichroism band observed near 228 nm with poly(Lβproline) responds in a similar fashion to HCl and CaCl~2~. The spectra in the HCl solutions are compatible with a simple binding equation and a p__K__ near β2 for the dissociation of a proton from a protonated peptide
The maximum at 220 nm in the circular dichroism spectrum of native collagen solution changed to a negative value after heat denaturation or collagenase hydrolysis. The enzyme induced rate of C1) change a t 220 nm was shown to be first order in collagen concentration. The specific rate constant k is
