“…Accumulation of various experimental evidences suggest that the side-chain conformation may play a key role in triggering such transitions. Examples are abundantly known for conventional polymers in which the conformational asymmetry involved in the side chain largely affects the spatial configuration of the skeletal chain. In an asymmetric polymer, the side-chain conformation varies more or less with the configuration of the main chain. Since bond conformations are often neighbor dependent along the polymer chain, small free energy differences accumulated in the individual side chains may become a driving force for a large deformation of the skeletal chain. ,, Since helical polypeptides are regularly hydrogen bonded, the screw-sense inversion inevitably occurs in a highly cooperative fashion.…”
