A calculation has been done of the circular dichroism (CD) spectrum of an unordered polypeptide chain. This has been based on a Boltzmann averaging over a dipeptide conformational CD map. This is shown to be valid by comparing the CD spectra of 28‐mer oligopeptides with those generated by summing dipeptide CD spectra. The calculated CD spectrum of an unordered polypeptide chain is found to agree with the assignment proposed by Tiffany and Krimm from experimental studies.
