## Abstract When a solution containing 0.01M decaglutamic acid, 0.1β1.0M aspartic acid, 1.0M MgCl~2~, and 0.5M sodium trimetaphosphate is allowed to stand at temperatures in the range 0β50Β°, addition products containing up to ten aspartic acid residues are formed. Addition occurs to the sideβchain

β¦ Synopsis
1,2-Diaminoethane and diaminomethane were coupled to aspartic acid residues in small peptides by means of a water-soluble carbodiimide. The resulting modified side chains sufficiently resembled lysine for trypsin to cleave the peptides. Similar modification of glutamic acid residues in peptides gave little or no susceptibility to trypsin.

The glycerinated stalk of the peritrich ciliate Vorticella, was treated with various reagents to chemically modify the amino acid residues. The influences of these modifications on spasmoneme contractility were investigated. First, it was confirmed that the spasmoneme contraction is not inhibited by
## Abstract Commonly a key element enabling proteins to function is an amino acid residue or residues with functional side chains having shifted pKa values. This article reports the results on a set of proteinβbased polymers (model proteins) that exhibit hydrophobic folding and assembly transitions
