Investigation of the conformations of four tetrapeptides by nuclear magnetic resonance and circular dichroism spectroscopy, and conformational energy calculations.
TL;DR: It appears that, because of short-range interactions, the tendency toward bend formation exists in short peptides, provided that both the composition and amino acid sequence are energetically favorable for bend formation.

Helix-Coil Stability Constants for the Naturally Occurring Amino Acids in Water. IV. Alanine Parameters from Random Poly(hydroxypropylglutamine-co-L-alanine)
TL;DR: The synthesis and characterization of water-soluble random copolymers containing L-tyrosine with N2-(3-hydroxypropyl)-L-glutamine are described, and the thermally induced helix--coil transitions of theseCopolymers in water have been studied.
