Films of poly-L-leucine, poly-L-valine, and poly-L-isoleucine have been studied at the air-water interface by surface balance experiments. In addition, Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of these polypeptides deposited onto quartz and mica have been studied by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and atom
