Das rheologische Verhalten der gebogenen α-Helix

Intrinsic viscosity and its shear dependence of polybenzyl-L-glutamat inm-cresol suggest a slightly bent -helix. Axis ratio and rotational diffusion constant of the envelopping cylinder are determined and the length of the helix calculated, which leads to the correct molecular weight. The amount of solvated and hydrodynamically immobilized water is estimated.
