✦ Synopsis

A series of polypeptides containing ordered sequences of glycyl and y-ethyl kglutamyl residues has been synthesized. The propert,ies of the polymers were investigated by x-ray diffraction, infrared spectrophotometry, and optical rotatory dispersion, and the results indicate that glycine appreciably reduces the stability of the r-ethyl bglutamate helix.
