25. E. R. Williams' group has reported similar modeling aimed at polypeptide systems. In these systems, the radiative intensities are rather high, and therefore large-molecule limiting behavior is expected to be reached for somewhat smaller systems than for the "standard-hydrocarbon" modeling reported here.
