N-Methyl Poly(a -Amino Acids). Synthesis and Preliminary Conformational Analysis of Poly(N-Methyl-y -Methyl-L-Glutamate)
N-substituted polypeptides exhibit very interesting conformational properties, due to the lack of hydrogen bonding from the N-H group in the main chain, and to the possibility of cis and trans configurations of the peptide bond.
The synthesis of N-methyl poly(u-amino acids) starting from the N-substituted N-carboxy anhydrides (NCAs) has been reported only for polysarcosine and poly(N-methyl-L-alanine), yielding low-molecular-weight materials.14 All other N-substituted NCAs do not polymerize

Sterically allowed forms of the poly-N-methyl-calanine chain were found by calculation of conformational energies as a function of the rotation angles of its chain bonds. The lowest energy form seems to be a right-handed, approximately threefold helix.
