The picosecond fluorimetry technique is used to determine directly the short lifetimes of metatloporphyrin (rr. rr\*) states. The Sr + Se and Sa + Se fluorescence of Cd and Lu tetrabenzoporphyrins is studied. For completeness, Zn tetrabenzoporphyrin fluorescence is dealt with using more traditional

โฆ Synopsis
Fluorescence lifetimes and anisotropies for single tryptophan-containing polypeptide hormones ACTH and ghrcagon, and a series of their fragments are reported. The anisotropy data are discussed in the context of the theory of Perico and Guenza (J.
Chem. Phys. 84 (1986) 5 10). A persistence length of about 7 to 10 residues is obtained for the mobilities in the two hormones.
The theory is able to account for chain length and probe location effects, but the calculated time dependence of the anisotropy does not tit the experimental curve well at short times.
