In an electric and a magnetic field rod-like molecular clusters were formed in liquid crystalline solutions of polypeptides, and oriented in the field directionowing to their permanent and induced dipole moments, respectively. Each molecular cluster had a length of several microns and a diameter of about 0.1 micron, and composed of some 5×105 polymer molecules in a methylene bromide solution of poly-γ-benzyl-L-glutamate of degree of polymerization 650. Polymer molecules oriented parallel to the cluster axis, but their ordering fluctuated statistically. There existed some differences among the systems of the liquid crystalline solutions tested
