The statistical mechanics of the effect of a small number of randomly occurriilg defects on the melting of a polypeptide chain is developed by using a perturbation of Boltzrnann factors technique. The method is illustrated by an example where a second-component impurity contributes more to the energ
The lattice model of Flory has been extended in order to consider equilibrium between isotropic and nematic phases containing helix-coil type chains. Nearly complete exclusion of coil sequences from the lyotropic nematic phase produces an enhanced cooperativity in the helixxoil transition. In poor s
The helix-coil transitions for poly-L-lysine (PL) were investigated by the methods of spectropolarimetry, viscometry and potentiometric titration in 0.2M NaCl a t different temperatures as well as in 0.2M NaBr, 1M KC1, and in mixtures of 0.2M NaCl or NaBr with methanol a t room temperature. The enth
