Synopsis
X-ray diffraction patterns from dilute solutions of poly-3,5-dibromo-~tyrosine in dirnethylformamide and equivalent concentrations of 2,&dibromophenol in the same solvent are compared. The intensity difference as a function of scattering angle is indicative of the arrangement of residues in the polymer. A novel averaging procedure is used to compute the intensity patterns arising from regular arrays of bromine atoms. Interbromine spacings measured on a Drieding model of a right-handed a-helii with side groups restricted to rigid positions of maximum stagger give moderate agreement with experiment. Very good agreement with observations is obtained by allowing for a small oscillation of phenyl rings which effectively cancels out the contribution of large distances to the intensity curve.
