Far-infrared spectra of poly-palanines having the a-helical conformation and the ,%form structure were measured. The spectra of glycine-L-alanine copolymer, silk fibroin, and copoly-D,calanines with different D : L compositions were also measured. In addition to the bands so far reported, four bands

Abstract
The sequential copolymers of glycine and L‐alanine, L‐valine and L‐alanine, L‐leucine and L‐alanine, and L‐phenylalanine and L‐alanine and those containing the L‐proline residues were synthesized. The infrared spectra in the region from 700 to 200 cm^‐1^ were measured for these polypeptides with the α‐helical conformation or the polyglycine II structure and compared with the spectra of the β‐form structures. The results showed that several infrared bands observed in the region from 600 to 200 cm^‐1^ clearly reflect not only the backbone conformations but also the local conformations of component amino acid residues of polypeptides with the α‐helical, β‐form and polyglycine II structures.
