Abstract

The helix–coil transition in poly(γ‐benzyl L‐glutamate‐co‐γ‐methyl L‐glutamate) copolypeptides was studied experimentally in nonaqueous solvents and the results compared with theory. It is found that the transition can be described by the same theory as for the homopolypeptides, but the corresponding parameters are not related in the expected way to those of the homopolymers, due to the effect of the side chains on the stability of the helix, which is not taken into account explicitly by the theory.
