Helix-coil stability constants for the naturally occurring amino acids in water. XII. Asparagine parameters from random poly(hydroxybutylglutamine-co-L-asparagine)
TL;DR: The synthesis and characterization of water‐soluble randomCopolymers containing L‐asparagine with N5‐(4‐hydroxybutyl)‐L‐glutamine, and the thermally induced helix‐coil transitions of these copolymers in water, are described and indicate that asparagine destabilizes helical sequences at all temperatures in the range 0–60°C.

Helix‐coil stability constants for the naturally occuring amino acids in water. XIV. Methionine parameters from random poly(hydroxypropylglutamine,L‐Methionine)
TL;DR: Water‐soluble, random copolymers containing L‐methionine and N5‐(3‐hydroxypropyl)‐L‐glutamine have been prepared, fractionated, and characterized, and it has been found that incorporation of L-meth ionine increases the helix content of the polymers at all temperatures in the range of 0–60°C.

Block copolymers of amino acids. I. Synthesis and structure of copolymers of L-alanine or L-phenylalanine with D,L-lysine-d7 or D,L-lysine
TL;DR: Analysis of the amount of the initiator fragment at the C‐terminus of the copolymers was used to obtain the number‐average degrees of polymerization, DPn, and thereby, together with the amino acid composition, to establish the covalent structures of the polymers.

Block copolymers of amino acids. II. Physicochemical data on copolymers containing L-alanine or L-phenylalanine
TL;DR: Discrepancies between Mn and Mw, and line broadening in the proton magnetic resonance spectra support the conclusion (drawn in the preceding paper) that the block copolymers are aggregated in aqueous solution.

On the amino‐acid‐sequence distribution in benzylglutamate‐methionine copolymers prepared from N‐carboxyanhydrides
TL;DR: The amino‐acid‐sequence distribution in poly(γ‐benzyl‐L‐glutamate, L‐methionine) prepared by polymerization of the respective N‐carboxyanhydrides has been investigated and fair close agreement has been found.
