## Synopsis A thermodynamic treatment of the helix-coil transition of synthetic polypeptides in binary organic solvent mixtures is extended to describe isobaric heat-capacity increments associated with the phenomenon. This development resolves such increments into three components: two associated

## Abstract The α‐helix–coil transition of poly‐L‐leucine, poly‐L‐alanine and poly‐L‐methionine in chloroform–trifluoroacetic acid system was studied by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and optical rotatory dispersion (ORD). The kinetics of the hydrogen–deuterium exchange in the peptide was also fo
