## Abstract The conformational changes of poly‐__N__^ε^‐glutaryl‐L‐lysine (PGL) and poly‐__N__^ε^‐succinyl‐L‐lysine (PSL) in various salt solutions were studied by use of ORD and potentiometric titration measurements. The addition of alkali metal salts to the fully ionized PGL or PSL solution cause

✦ Synopsis
Poly(trimethy1-L-lysine), [Lys(Mq)],, is converted from random coil to a-helix at about 1/30 of the NaC10, concentration required by poly(L-lysine), (Lys),. NaClO, generates turbidity in [Lys(Me),], at concentrations above that required for helix formation, and decreases turbidity above 1M NaC10,. The turbidity runs parallel to enhanced, and then decreased, fluorescence of a dansyl label. Helix formation per se does not induce enhanced fluorescence. Increasing NaC10, concentration increases T, linearly with log[NaClO,] for both (Lys), and [Lys(Mq], until the denaturing effect of high NaC10, sets in. Increasing NaClO, also increases the breadth of the transition. Heating helical [Lys(Mq)], or (Lys), does not produce a CD spectrum resembling that of "random-coil" (Lys),, except for [Lys(Mq)], at relatively low NaC10, concentration.

## Abstract The separation and resolution of the isopeptides __N__ϵ(γ‐glutamyl)‐L‐lysine and __N__ϵ(β‐aspartyl)‐L‐lysine formed in heated proteins has been successfully achieved. The method demands a well‐characterised ion‐exchange column and the use of pH 3.40 lithium citrate buffer (0.2 N Li^+^).
## Abstract Poly(__N__^ε^‐stearyl‐L‐lysine) and poly(__N__^ε^‐pelargonyl‐L‐lysine) were synthesized both by polymerization of __N__^ε^‐pelargonyl and __N__^ε^‐stearyl‐L‐lysine NCA and by acylation of poly(L‐lysine) with pelargonyl and stearyl chloride. This second route has proven to be very useful
The solvent-and pH-induced conformational changes are examined in order to investigate the influence of benzy 1 group. Polymer was prepared via N'-benzyloxycarbonyl, N'-benzyl-Nu-carboxy-clysine anhydride. The resulting poly(iV'-benzyloxycarbonyl, N'-benzyl-clysine) was obtained in a high yield and
