Abstract: Ultrasonic investigations in non-aqueous solutions of peptides provide useful information in understanding the Physico-chemical properties of the interacting components. Peptides and amino acids are used as probe molecule to understand the complex nature of protein. It is recognized that the study of the behavior of model compounds of proteins like amino acids and peptides as solutions help in understanding the factors governing the thermodynamic stability of the native structure of proteins. The analysis of ultrasonic and thermodynamic properties of proteins in non-aqueous solvent has been the area of interest. In the present investigation ultrasonic velocity, transport properties and other related parameters were successfully employed at different temperatures and concentrations to understand the structural changes occurring in the solutions
