Abstract
An efficient synthesis of the backbone modified glutathione analogue γ‐(L‐γ‐oxaglutamyl)‐L‐cysteinyl‐glycine (7), characterized by the presence of an urethane O‐CO‐NH linkage replacing the γ‐glutamylic CH~2~CO‐NH fragment is described. The new analogue has been fully characterized by ^1^H‐ and ^13^C‐NMR, and FAB‐MS. Compound 7 was tested for inhibition of γ‐glutamyl‐transferase activity and was found to be a non‐competitive inhibitor of hog kidney γ‐glutamyltransferase (EC 2.3.2.2).

Block and random copolymers of y-benzyl Irglutamate and glycine were studied by optical rotatory dispersion methods in order to ascertain the extent and stability of the a-helix formed by these polymers in appropriate solvent mixtures. Results indicate that when in solution such polymers do contain
