Abstract

The “ordinary–extraordinary phase transition” of poly(lysine), first reported by Lin et al. [(1978) Biopolymers 17, 1041–1064], has been reexamined as a function of the data collection interval (Δ__t__) and scattering angle (θ). These data suggest that the relaxation domains “split” as the ionic strength is lowered through the transition region. In contrast, fluorescence photobleaching recovery data of Ware and coworkers (personal communication) indicate the tracer diffusion coefficient is not sensitive to the “ordinary–extraordinary phase transition.” The apparent discrepancy between these two techniques is here proposed to be due to small ion effects on both the dynamics and the scattering power of the polyelectrolytes.

Studies of the helix-to-coil transition in dilute solutions of poly-L-lysine, dissolved in mixtures of water and methanol (MeOH), have been carried under shear flow using flow birefringence and modulated polarimetry. The fraction of helical conformations in a given solution remains independent of sh
