## Abstract The conformational changes of poly‐__N__^ε^‐glutaryl‐L‐lysine (PGL) and poly‐__N__^ε^‐succinyl‐L‐lysine (PSL) in various salt solutions were studied by use of ORD and potentiometric titration measurements. The addition of alkali metal salts to the fully ionized PGL or PSL solution cause

✦ Synopsis
The solvent-and pH-induced conformational changes are examined in order to investigate the influence of benzy 1 group. Polymer was prepared via N'-benzyloxycarbonyl, N'-benzyl-Nu-carboxy-clysine anhydride. The resulting poly(iV'-benzyloxycarbonyl, N'-benzyl-clysine) was obtained in a high yield and had a high molecular weight. The protected polymer was removed into poly(N'-benzyl-L-lysine) by treating it with hydrogen bromide. From the results of the ORD and CD, the protected polymer has a righthanded a-helix, showing [m']233 = -10,300, [ e l 2 2 0 = -27,600, and [0]207 = -25,100 in dioxane. The breakdown of the helical conformation is found to occur a t 8% dichloroacetic acid in a chloroform-dichloroacetic acid mixture. In the pH range 3.35-6.90, poly(Nc-benzyl-blysine) is in a random coil structure. In the pH range 7.50-13.0, the polypeptide has a right-handed a-helix structure; [m']233 = -12,000, [ e l 2 2 0 = -27,200, and [0]2,,7 = -27,000. In comparison with poly-L-lysine, the coil-to-helix transition is observed a t lower pH range in SOYo n-propanol. Above pH 8 by heating, the a -.. p transition of poly(Nf-benzyl-L-lysine) is not observed in an aqueous media.
