Abstract:Mean square optical anisotropies and molar Kerr constants were calculated for homopolypeptides of the 20 natural amino acids and of several enzymes and proteins in the random-coil state. The effect of hydration was taken into account in constructing the molecular potential that gives the conformational energies as a function of the rotational angles phi and psi of the backbone and chi(1) of the side chain. The Rotational Isomeric State model was used in calculated energies, the Valence Optical Scheme and the matrix calculus technique of Flory being employed in the evaluation of the optical properties. The results are compared with calculations for the same substances that were performed without taking into account the solvent, as well as with other similar studies. The Kerr constant is confirmed as being one of the most sensitive properties of a given polypeptide to the residue class and to the sequence of those residues.
