Abstract
Within the framework of generalized model of polypeptide chain, on the basis of the Hamiltonian of model of solvent, which interacts with a biopolymer in both competitive and noncompetitive ways, introduced earlier, analytical expressions are obtained and thermodynamic and other averaged parameters are calculated for both the repeating units of the biopolymer and the solvent molecules. Different cases of relations between parameters of competitive and non-competitive bonding are considered and processes of melting and alignment are studied. It is shown that these processes are accompanied by changes in solvation and redistribution of solvent molecules between the helical and coiled portions of the chain.
