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
Recent improvements in apparatus permit the examination of circular dichroism (CD) and optical rotatory dispersion (ORD) spectra to 185 mp. I n addition, new solvents which are transparent to 185 mp have become available for synthetic polypeptides. The spectral region 185-250 mp is extremely importa
## Abstract Conformational energies have been estimated for the tripeptide fragments LβAlaβ__N__βmethylβLβAlaβLβAla, LβAlaβLβAlaβ__N__βmethylβLβAla, LβAlaβSarβLβAla, and LβAlaβGlyβ__N__βmethylβLβAla. The peptide bonds connecting LβAla and Gly with __N__βmethylβLβAla and LβAla with Sar were permitte
