are well accounted for, and exhibit a quite different pattern from that of the MIhelix.<br />

This is undoubtedly due in part to the different involvement of side-chain<br />

structures in the two polypeptides. Since no such major difference is seen in the<br />

aniide V eigenvectors, the large frequency differences between the two helices must<br />

be due to differences in hydrogen-bonding geometry and/or main-chain conformation.<br />

(The disappearance of the 694 and 680 cm-l bands on N-deuteration [110]<br />

unambiguously confirms their assignments to ainide V.) The skeletal N CT d and<br />

CTN d, CO ib modes have reversed frequency order (and in one case changed<br />

species) in 3l"-PAIB, and again, this is probably partly due to the involvement of<br />

side-chain coordinates in the eigenvectors. Future studies of, for example, a 3 10-<br />

helix of PLA should help to establish the possible generality of these results.<br />

5.4.2.4 Polyglycine I1<br />

The PGII structure is the simplest one that is representative of polypeptide helices<br />

without intramolecular hydrogen bonding. In this case, the antiparallel chains of
