The helix–coil transition of poly‐N5‐(2‐hydroxyethyl)L‐glutamine (PHEG) in aqueous isopropanol was examined by means of optical rotatory dispersion (ORD) and intrinsic viscosity [η] measurements. The Zimm–Bragg parameters σ and s for the transition were determined from the ORD data as a function of molecular weight. It was found that the transition was characterized by a relatively low cooperativity; the values of \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \sqrt \sigma $\end{document} were in the range from 0.039 to 0.066, depending on the solvent composition. These σ values are much larger than those reported for other polypeptide–solvent systems. The transition enthalpy was negative and its magnitude varied with the solvent composition, with a maximum of 620 cal/mol at 40 wt% isopropanol. The curve of [η] versus helical content for a high‐molecular‐weight sample exhibited a very broad minimum, and this behavior was attributed to the low cooperativity of the transition.
