Notes:
Monodisperesed, N-and C-Protected homo-oligopeptides [number (n) of resides from 2 to 5] of L-valine, L-isoleucine, and L-phenylalnine were studied by ir absorption spectroscopy between 1200 and 350 cm-1 at various solvents. The solvents and chain-length effects were examined for non-hydrogen-bonded peptide groups. The frequencies of the self-associated species are consistent with a model derived from the amide data. Self-association species are consistent with a model derived from the amide data. Self-association is favored by higher values of n = 2, the peptide is insoluble when more than two chains are bonded. For n = 3, 4, several chains may be associated by sliding along one another and remain soluble. For n = 2, the peptide is insoluble when more than two chains are bonded. For n = 3, 4, several chains may be associated by sliding along one another and remain slouble. For n = 5, the effect of n is to favour a model in which two chains exactly face each other so that the peptide precipitates at relatively low concentration.
