Abstract
A side-chain dicarboxylic acid-containing polypeptide was prepared by introduction of L-glutamic acid to poly(L-glutamic acid) in the side chains. The polypeptide showed extremely high ability for copper ion complex formation. Complex formation induced the stabilization of α-helix structure of the polypeptide, which enabled Cu–Cu interactions in the side-chain region.
