Abstract
By X‐ray diffraction method, an originally almost dry oriented fiber of sodium poly‐L‐glutamate was shown to undergo transconformation from β‐structure to α‐helices when its water content was gradually increased by equilibrating with the helium gas of 64% relative humidity. The observation is correlated to the corresponding infrared spectroscopical study made by Blout et al.
