## Abstract Vibrational CD (VCD) of amides A, I, and II vibrations of a variety of polypeptide films have been measured. VCD of films of α‐helical and β‐sheet structures are compared in the three regions. Reproducible spectra could only be obtained for thin films free of orientation dependence. The

✦ Synopsis
We have measured vibrational CD spectra in the 3600-1250 cm-I region of two monodisperse, protected octapeptides, which form right-handed 3,,-helices in CDC13 solution.
The spectra are similar in sign pattern to those obtained for right-handed a-helices in solution but are smaller in magnitude and, additionally, provide evidence of some lineshape differences. The delineation of this type of ordered conformation was accomplished by means of 'H-nmr. Such a solution structure is consistent with the x-ray crystal structure of one of these molecules.

## Abstract Vibrational CD (VCD) and ir absorption data are reported for a series of films of Boc‐(L‐Ala)~__n__~‐OMe homo‐oligopeptides (__n__ = 3–7) in the amide I and A regions. The data evidenced a sharp change between __n__ = 3 and __n__ = 4, which parallels the onset of β‐structure formation,
## Synopsis Vibrational CD (VCD) of amide I and I1 vibrations of several a-helical polypeptides have been measured in solution. For the amide I1 as well as the amide I [previously published: Lal, B.B. & Nafie, L.A. (1982) Biopolymers 21, 21611 we find the VCD to be characteristic of the polypeptid
The Raman and absorption spectra of tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) were calculated and compared to experiment. The computation was based on the harmonic molecular force field and electric tensors obtained ab initio at the BPW91/6-31G\* level. Good agreement was found between experimental and calculated
## Synopsis We have measured the vibrational CD (VCD) of a series of hetermligopeptides-onitrophenylsulfenyl(L-Met-L-Met-L-Leu),-OEt, n = 6,8,10,11--in the amide A, I, and I1 regions. These spectra are identical in shape and magnitude, within our signal to noise limits. The VCD in each band are o
