The lack of methods for resolving complex optical rotatory dispersion curves into their component Cotton effects has prevented an adequate comparison of experiment and theory. A nonlinear, least-squares curve fitting approach to the interpretation of optical rotatory dispersion data is shown to be effective in both resolving overlapping Cotton effects and revealing small Cotton effects obscured by larger ones adjacent to them. The appli-cation of this method to the optical rotatory dispersion data (from 600 to 190 µ) of various «-helical polypeptides in solution yields results agreeing with the conclusions from the combination of circular dichroism and polarized ultraviolet absorption spectra which support the exciton (for-*·*) and one-electron (for n-**) models. The method is also applied to the optical rotatory dispersion of the random form of poly-aL-glutamic acid and the poly-L-proline II helix. For the former, three Cotton effects are found centered at 197.6, 216.6, and 235 µ with rota-tional strengths—14.2 X 10-40, 1.9 X 10_4, and—0.13 X 10-40 erg cm3, respectively. For the poly-L-proline II helix, two Cotton effects are found centeredat 206.9 and 221.0 µ with rotational strengths—33 X 10~ 40 and 5 X 10~ 40 erg cm3, respectively. It is concluded thatfurther theoretical work is needed before assignments can be made for the optically active transitions of the “random" polypeptide conformation and the poly-L-proline II helix.
