## 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 tra

✦ Synopsis
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 temperature and solvent and in agreement with the ordinarily accepted value for poly(y-benzyl-L-glutamate). The different methods of estimating 8 are discussed for both polypeptides.
