## Abstract Transient electric birefringence of poly(L‐α,γ‐diaminobutyric acid hydrochloride) in methanol/water mixtures has been measured over a wide range of field strengths and solvent compositions and at different polymer concentrations and temperatures. The molar ellipticity at 222 nm and the
Water-insoluble films of poly-L-lysine, crosslinked with formaldehyde, were suspended in aqueous media and their relative lengths measured as a function of pH. A sharp transition of the polymer was observed in the pH range which corresponded with that observed in polylysine solutions by optical rota
In this paper two points are considered: the methods of evaluating the helical content 8 and the calculation of the parameters of the transition from experimental data and its interpretation. The parameter AH obtained is in good agreement with the calorimetric one and v is found to be independent of
Studies of the helix-to-coil transition in dilute solutions of poly-L-lysine, dissolved in mixtures of water and methanol (MeOH), have been carried under shear flow using flow birefringence and modulated polarimetry. The fraction of helical conformations in a given solution remains independent of sh
