Energy calculations have been performed on right-handed helical structures of L-alanine and .alpha.-methylalanine oligmers. A new ''3.610''-helix is described for .alpha.-methylalanine peptides. The dependence of the relative stability of the .alpha., 310, and 3.610 structural forms on helix length, dielectric, and force-field, in the gas phase, has been studied. Potential energy surfaces for the interconversion of helices have been generated. The 310-helix in .alpha.-methylalanine oligomers exhibits a degree of enthalpic and entropic stabilization not observed for alanine. The relevance of the results to the formation of voltage-sensitive ion channels is discussed.
