説明

he helicities of six kinds of L-alanine/β-alanine random copolypeptides having different L-alanine contents were determined using ^1H NMR. Next, the theoretical helicities of these copolypeptides were calculated on the basis of a statistical thermodynamic analysis of the helixcoil transition of the random copolypeptide -using Monte Carlo methods- as a function of the L-alanine content. The statistical weight parameters used in the model were determined from a comparison of the observed and calculated results. The experimental and theoretical results are in agreement with the fact that Bombyx mori silk fibroin with 30,0 mo1-% L-alanine content assumes exclusively a random-coil conformation and that philosamia cynthia ricini silk fibroin with 48,8 mol-% L-alanine content locally assumes an α-helical conformation in the sequence of the L-alanine residues, both in aqueous solution.
