Our studies on the solution conformation of (Gly-Pro-Sar), and (Gly-Sar-Pro), synthesized as polypeptide models for collagen are reported. It is found that, while (Gly-Pro-Sar), exists in ordered triple-helical conformation, (Gly-Sar-Pro), remains as a disordered random coil in water. Addition of ce

## Abstract The conformation of (ProβGlyβPhe)~__n__~ in trifluoroethanol was investigated using CD, nmr and ir techniques. After making appropriate correction for the contribution of the phenylalanine chromophore to the observed CD spectra of the polytripeptide at several temperatures, it is found
## Abstract A complete analysis of all possible conformations with correct hydrogen bonds of the collagen II type was performed on the basis of developed simultaneous equations. Using a unimodal search (by varying Ξ¨^3^), the energetically favorable structure was obtained. No other energetically sat
Measurements of the molecular weight of (Pro-Pro-Gly), and (Pro-Pro-Gly),(Ala-Pro-Gly),(Pro-Pro-Gly),, which were synthesized by the solid-phase method, revealed that they formed a trimer in an aqueous solution, and dissociated into single-stranded chains on warming. Accompanying the transition, a l
## Abstract A theoretical analysis is given of the tripleβhelixβrandomβcoil transition in a mixed solution of poly(ProβProβGly)~__n__~ with two different but defined degrees of polymerization __n__ and __n__β². Because of the highly cooperative nature of this helixβcoil transition, each polypeptide
We have synthesized (Pro-Pro-BAla), as a model for collagen. The synthetic polytripeptide, mol wt 6.500, exhibits a large negative optical rotation with a very strong negative Cotton effect centered a t 216 nm. The optical rotatory dispersion of (Pro-Pro-BAla), followed a single-term Drude equation
