The biotin-1,4-diaminobutane (Bio-Put), biotin-tryptophan (Bio-Trp) and biotin-3-methylindole (Bio-Sct) systems were investigated by means of Raman spectroscopy. The interaction with Put renders the polar resonance forms of Bio more stabilized. One group of Put is protonated by the COOH group of Bio
Although relatively rare, the tryptophan residue (Trp), with its large hydrophobic surface, has a unique role in the folded structure and the binding site of many proteins, and its fluorescence properties make it very useful in studying the structures and dynamics of protein molecules in solution.

## Abstract X‐ray diffraction and energy‐minimization results are reported for poly(γ‐phenethyl‐L‐glutamate). Orthorhombic unit‐cell parameters of drawn fibers are __a__ = 15.4 Å, __b__ = 26.6 Å, __c__ = 54.4 Å. Atomic coordinates are derived for an α‐helix peptide conformation that corresponds to
