Abstract

The all-valence electron energy band structure has been calculated for β polyglycine in the parallel-chain pleated sheet conformation. The anisotropy of the charge carrier effective masses and mobilities have been investigated. The direction of the polypeptide backbone is found theoretically to be more favourable for electrical conduction than that of the hydrogen bonds.
