The p-azobenzenearsonate (Ars) hapten was coupled to two synthetic carriers. One was an ordered copolymer possessing the repeating sequence L-tyrosyl-L-alanyl-Lglutamic acid [(TAG),,], and an -helical conformation under physiological conditions. The other one was a random copolymer of L-tyrosine, L-alanine, and L-glutamic acid [(TAG),].The p-azobenzenearsonate group was attached, on the average, to one of every 26 tyrosine residues in the ordered copolymer, and to one in every 7 tyrosine residues in the random
