CHEN, YANG, AND CHAU abstract: The circular dichroism (CD) of a protein at any wavelength can be expressed as X=/hAh"+/ß ß+/rAr (1). The f s are the fractions of helix (), ß form, and unordered form (R). ft refers to the average number of peptide units per helical segment in a protein molecule. The A parameters are determined from the CD spectra of five or eight proteins of known f s, using a least-squares method. They, in turn, can be used to estimate the/h and/ß of a protein by fitting its CD spectrum (below 245 nm) with eq 1. Results of tests on eight proteins are good, provided that the ñ of the proteins is close to the overall ñ of the reference proteins (around 10). This restriction of a single ñ for all proteins can be removed by introducing
