Conformational energies of the poly-N-methyl-halanine chain have been calculated as a function of the rotational angles of its skeletal bonds, taking into account torsional potentials, van der Waals repulsions, and London attractions. Four pronounced minima in the energy were found; the relative mag

โฆ Synopsis
Sterically allowed forms of the poly-N-methyl-calanine chain were found by calculation of conformational energies as a function of the rotation angles of its chain bonds. The lowest energy form seems to be a right-handed, approximately threefold helix.

High-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectra at 100 MHz have been obtained on poly-iV-methyl-L-alanine in the chloroform-trifluoroacetic acid system under various conditions of solvent composition. Different spectra are observed for the CH,-C,, C,-H, and N-CHI protons. On the basis of conforma

Polarized ir and Raman spectra have been obtained on oriented films of a-helical poly(L-alanine) (a-PLA) and its N-deuterated derivative. These improved spectra permit a more complete assignment of observed bands to A-, E 1 -, and E 2 -species modes. A new empirical force field has been refined, bas
