Abstract
In the present paper, we report the Fourier transform infraβred (FTIR) spectra and an analysis of the normal modes and their dispersion, based on the calculations for an infinite chain and Urey Bradley force field with nonbonded interactions. The results thus obtained agree well with the FTIR spectra. The heat capacity obtained from the dispersion curves via densityβofβstates is in very good agreement with the experimental measurements between 50 and 500 K. We observed that the main contribution to heat capacity comes from the modes involving the coupling of the backbone skeletal and sideβchain motions. Β© 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Polarized ir and Raman spectra have been obtained on oriented films of a-helical poly(L-alanine) (a-PLA) and its N-deuterated derivative. These improved spectra permit a more complete assignment of observed bands to A-, E 1 -, and E 2 -species modes. A new empirical force field has been refined, bas
