The anisotropic rotational motion of the backbone and the side chains of poly(L‐glutamic acid) in the α‐helical structure was investigated using the 13C‐T1 and T2 relaxation times of all carbon atoms with directly attached protons, obtained at a 13C‐Larmor frequency of 67.89 MHz. The evaluation of the nmr data was carried out according to the previously derived anisotropic diffusion model, in which the macromolecule is considered a rigid rod. The rotation of the backbone is characterized by two diffusion constants, D1 and D3, describing the rotation perpendicular to and around the symmetry axis. The additional internal motion of the Cβ‐methylene group is described as a jump process with a jump rate, k1, between two allowed rotametric states. Steric considerations indicate that the occupation of the third rotameric position is forbidden. The rotation of the Cγ‐methylene group is decribed as a one‐dimensional diffusion process around the Cβ–Cγ bond. Investigation of the temperature dependence of the relaxation parameters led to the temperature dependence of the dynamic parameters. Activation energies were determined from these data. The dynamic parameters obtained for poly(L‐glutamic acid) at 291 K are compared with the corresponding results of a previous study of poly(L‐lysine).
