Poly(l-arginine) (PARG) and poly(l-glutamic acid) (PLGA) homopolypeptides were custom synthesized by precisionN-carboxyanhydride ring-opening polymerization methods with two molar masses, matched for pairs of cationic and anionic polypeptides (degrees of polymerizationn= 100 andn= 500). The conformations of the homopolypeptides were probed using circular dichroism (CD) and FTIR spectroscopy which revealed the presence of mainly polyproline II (PPII) conformation. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) showed concentration-dependent polyelectrolyte peaks and form factor with highqscaling due to the excluded volume behaviour of the wormlike chains. We then examined polyelectrolyte complexation in mixtures of pairs of PARG and PLGA polypeptides with matched molar masses. Precipitation was generally observed and the structures of precipitates, supernatant and resuspended precipitates were investigated using CD, SAXS and cryo-TEM. These revealed that, contrary to prior suggestions in the literature, the precipitates contain mostly polypeptides in a PPII-like conformation, and there is only a minimal β-sheet content (which is enhanced upon drying the sample during preparation for certain measurements). The precipitates have a fractal-like structure as revealed by cryo-TEM and SAXS. Our findings on the structure of polypeptide complex precipitates contribute to the understanding of phase separation of polyelectrolyte complexes and coacervation and may shed light on the formation of inter-cellular bodies of proteins and peptides such as Lewy and other inclusion bodies.
