Abstract

The values of four conformational properties, unperturbed dimensions 0, dipole moment , mean squared optical anisotropy and molar Kerr constant have been calculated for polyglycine chains of x = 100 repeat units with varying composition of alpha-helix, beta-sheet and random coil conformations. The influence of the conformational sequence on these properties has been investigated by calculating the four above-mentioned properties together with the end-to-end vector for several polyglycine oligomers.
