In this paper two points are considered: the methods of evaluating the helical content 8 and the calculation of the parameters of the transition from experimental data and its interpretation. The parameter AH obtained is in good agreement with the calorimetric one and v is found to be independent of

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
The thermal helix–coil transition of poly(γ‐benzyl L‐glutamate‐co‐ε‐carbobenzoxy‐L‐lysine) copolypeptides was studied in solvent mixtures of different compositions. The cooperativity parameter v changes linearly with polymer (and solvent) composition, whereas the heat of the transition shows a very pronounced minimum as a function of polymer composition. This minimum cannot be due only or mainly to the solvent changes and must be attributed to the effect on the transition of the side chains of the polypeptides.

## Abstract The heal of solution of Poly‐ε‐carbobenzoxy‐L‐lysine and of a series of its copolymers with phenylalanine was measured as a function of solvent composition. The enthalpy change of the helix‐to‐coil transition was estimated for the various cases. The previous findings that side chains do
## Abstract The thermal helix–coil transition of four samples of poly(γ‐benzyl‐L‐glutamate) in the dioxane–dichloroacetic acid (DCA) mixture was studied by optical rotatory dispersion method. The transition occurred at very high DCA content (97.5% by weight) in this system. The transition parameter
The helix-coil transition of poly(ybenzy1 L-glutamate) was studied by comparing proton magnetic relaxation behavior with optical activity studies. The transition temperatnre as determined by magnetic relaxation was lower than that obtained by optical activity. The relationship of these experiments
