✦ Synopsis
Abstract
The coil to helix conformational transitions undergone by poly‐γ‐benzyl‐~L~‐glutamate in solutions of haloacetic acids and various cosolvents were studied by means of proton magnetic resonance. The results indicate a very small solvent dependence of the α‐CH Helix–coil chemical shift difference. The helical stabilities of PBLG in different solvent mixtures were interpreted in terms of modifications of the “solvent structure.”

## Abstract The helix–coil transition in poly(γ‐benzyl L‐glutamate‐__co__‐γ‐methyl L‐glutamate) copolypeptides was studied experimentally in nonaqueous solvents and the results compared with theory. It is found that the transition can be described by the same theory as for the homopolypeptides, but
