摘要

In this study, a new miscible rod-rod polypeptide blend system comprising polytyrosine (PTyr) and poly(gamma-methyl L-glutamate) (PMLG) was developed. Differential scanning calorimetry revealed significant positive deviations in the glass transition temperatures of these PTyr/PMLG blends, arising from intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the phenolic OH groups of PTyr and the side chain C=O groups of PMLG, as well as secondary structural changes of the polypeptides confirmed using solid state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
