The theory of the optical rotation of infinite single-stranded helical polymers is developed using the multipole Hamiltonian and the exciton approximation. The optical rotation formulas are obtained without using any sum rules. Contributions to the optical rotation from electric dipoles, magnetic dipoles, and electric quadrupoles of the monomers are considered explicitly.
