Abstract

Measurements have been made of the high‐resolution nmr spectra of the polyamino acids poly[N^5^‐(2‐hydroxyethyl)‐L‐glutamine] and poly[N^5^‐(4‐hydroxybutyl)‐L‐glutamine] in mixed deuterium oxide and water solvent at varying pressures from 1.03 to 3163.7 kg/cm^2^. The results are compared with previously reported results for the polymer poly[N^5^‐(3‐hydroxypropyl)‐L‐glutamine] under similar conditions. The significance of the behaviour of the polymers is considered in terms of the effect of the presence of hydrophobic residues in their side chains.
