Abstract

The study of the conformational behavior of polypeptides has intrinsic interest in a complex and challenging theoretical and experimental problem. There are also strong biological implications inasmuch as there are many known naturally occurring polypeptides, both linear and cyclic, with potent effects as hormones, toxins, antibiotics, and ionophores. It is very probable that these functions are closely related to the polymer chain conformations.1–5 Investigations of model polypepetides have been extremely useful for the interpretation of conformational behavior and for the elucidation of the interaction between proteins and other macromolecules. The conformational structures of polyproline and related compounds have been of particular interest due to the important role L-proline plays in effecting protein structure.
