Raman and polarized ir spectra have been obtained on built‐up monomolecular films of poly(α‐aminoisobutyric acid), and analyzed in the context of normal mode calculations on 3 10 ‐, α‐, and α′‐helix conformations of this molecule. The average discrepancy between observed and calculated frequencies is significantly smaller for the 3 10 ‐helix than for the other structures. This, together with the more satisfactory explanation of several special features of the spectra, indicates that this polypeptide adopts a 3 10 ‐helix conformation in such thin films.
