The helix-coil transition has been studied by high-resolution NMR for three watersoluble polypeptides. Such systems are better models for protein behavior than those in TFA-CDC13 solvent. An upfield shift of ~7 cps is observed for the a-CH peak of poly(bg1utamic acid) and poly-clysine as the helix c

✦ Synopsis
The synthesis and some of the physical-chemical properties of tricopolymers of L-glutamic acid, blysine, and L-alanine are reported here. The molar ratios of the * Amino acid analyses of these polypeptides yielded values within approximately 3.5% of the mole ratios of NCA's incorporated into the polymerization mixture.
