## Abstract The conformation of several samples of poly(α,β‐L‐Asp) with a molar fraction of β‐bonds ranging from 0.1 to 0.55 was investigated by means of ir and CD spectroscopy and potentiometric titration and compared with the results obtained previously with poly(α‐L‐Asp). All samples investigate

Abstract
Poly‐β‐1‐naphthylmethyl‐L‐aspartate and copolymers of β‐1‐naphthylmethyl‐L‐aspartate and γ‐benzyl‐L‐glutamate were prepared. From the results obtained by a study of infrared and circular dichroism spectra, poly‐β‐1‐naphthylmethyl‐L‐aspartate was found to be a left‐handed α‐helix both in the solid state and in solution. The fluorescence spectra of these polymers showed excimer emission of the naphthyl chromophores and gave some information about the arrangement of the side‐chain chromophores. By optical titration experiments, it was found that an increasing amount of β‐1‐naphthylmethyl‐L‐aspartate residues in the copolymers induces a progressive instability of the helical structure.

## Abstract The dynamic mechanical thermal properties of a family of poly(α‐alkyl β,L‐aspartate)s bearing various cyclic, linear, and branched alkoxycarbonyl groups in the side chain were studied. The measurements carried out by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) revealed the significant in
The nonbonded interaction energy was computed for xylobiose and xylan as a function of the dihedral angles (+,$). The energy maps indicate that interactions higher than the second neighbor are negligible. Of the four possibilities, the left-handed helical conformation with (+,$) = (63",25") is of th
