I would still estimate that poly-Ala and poly-Gly will be helical in
CCl4, and that only the latter will unfold in water.  But, that brings
up an interesting (ignorant?) question.  Can the chlorine atoms of CCl4
serve as hydrogen bond acceptors?  Certainly, there is no net charge on
carbon tet, but significant partial negative charges must be present on
the chlorines.  Any thoughts?
