✦ Synopsis


Nanosecond fluorescence lifetime components, observed in hemoglobin samples purified by standard procedures, are removed by a HPLC purification step. The tryptophyl fluorescence of extensively purified human hemoglobin is found to decay as a simple single exponential. The fluorescence lifetime of x 25 ps is relatively insensitive to protein conformational changes such as those resulting from different ligation states of the heme iron.

19 F nuclear magnetic resonance ( 19 F NMR) of 5-fluorotryptophan (5F-Trp) and tryptophan (Trp) fluorescence both provide information about local environment and solvent exposure of Trp residues. To compare the information provided by these spectroscopies, the four Trp residues in recombinant solubl
