β¦ Synopsis
We report the rircular dirhroism (0) spectrum of poly-L-acetoxyproline in trifluoroethanol, a solvent in which the form I to form I1 conformational isomerization orcurs slowly enough to permit observation of the spectral changes. A romparison is made to poly-L-proline. As judged by the similarity of the CD spectra, the conformations of the corresponding forms of the two polymers must be nearly the same. Transition assignments are proposed; these are shown to agree with the theoretical calculations of Pysh. There is a serious unexplained disrrepanry between our solution data and those of Fasman for poly-L-acetoxyproline.

## Abstract The vacuumβultraviolet circular dichroism (VUCD) of chondroitin and chontroitinβ6βsulfate has been measured to 160 nm for films and to 170 nm for D~2~O solutions. The pDβdependent dichroic behavior of these glycosaminoglycans in D~2~O is similar above 200 nm and is in agreement with pre
