Sequential polypeptides: 4. Helix—coil transition in sequential polypeptides consisting of γ-benzyl l-glutamyl and ε-carbobenzoxyl l-lysyl residues

An approximate theory of helix-coil transition in sequential polypeptides consisting of residues A, B, and C, (ABC) n, has been developed. The theory predicts that for σ i 1 2 1 and n 1, the helix coil transition of (ABC) n resembles ...
