Fluorescence of Lysozyme: Emissions from Tryptophan Residues 62 and 108 and Energy Migration

Year: 1972

Type: article

Abstract: The bulk of the fluorescence of lysozyme is located in Trp 62 and Trp 108. By examination of the fluorescence of derivatives in which Trp 62 and/or Trp 108 are specifically oxidized, it has been possible to detect a pH-dependent interaction between tryptophan residues. This interaction is interpreted as energy transfer from Trp 108 to Trp 62.
