## Abstract An increasing number of experimental and theoretical studies have demonstrated the importance of the 3~10~‐helix/α‐helix/coil equilibrium for the structure and folding of peptides and proteins. One way to perturb this equilibrium is to introduce side‐chain interactions that stabilize or
## Abstract In order to investigate the ability of neutral amino acids to support the α‐helix conformation, the coil–helix transition of poly(L‐lysine) and of lysine copolymers with these amino acids was studied in water/methanol using circular dichroism. The transtions were recorded at constant pH
## Abstract Collagen is a widespread protein family involved in a variety of biological processes. The complexity of collagen and its fibrous nature prevent detailed investigations on the full‐length protein. Reductionist approaches conducted by dissecting the protein complexity through the use of
