Notes:
Low-temperature specific heat measurements have been made on random poly(L-alanine) (Pilot). The effective one-dimensional (intra-molecular polymeric) Debye temperature is 323°K, and the corresponding three-dimensional temperature is 54°K. An anomaly, similar to that seen in polyethylene and other high polymers, is observed. The method will be a useful tool for the study of low-frequency vibrations in polypeptides.
