The interaction of heparin/polyanions with bovine, porcine, and human growth hormone.

TL;DR: In this paper, a thermodynamic description of the interaction of four representative polyanions with human, bovine, and porcine growth hormone is described, and the potential biological significance of growth hormone polyanion interactions is discussed.

Time-resolved emission spectra of green fluorescent protein

TL;DR: In this article, the emission spectra of wild-type green fluorescent protein (wtGFP) and the T203V GFP mutant have been recorded with picosecond time resolution, allowing the separate characterization of the two spectral components associated with the neutral and anionic forms of the GFP chromophore.

Symposium-in-Print: Green Fluorescent Protein and Homologs Time-Resolved Emission Spectra of Green Fluorescent Protein

TL;DR: In this article, the emission spectra of wild-type green fluorescent protein (wtGFP) and the T203V GFP mutant have been recorded with picosecond time resolution, allowing the separate characterization of the two spectral components associated with the neutral and anionic forms of the GFP chromophore.

Dissecting Nanosecond Dynamics in Membrane Proteins with Dipolar Relaxation upon Tryptophan Photoexcitation.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that ultrafast, subnanosecond relaxation reports on the extent of Trp shielding from water, with micelle and protein moieties making additive contributions, thereby probing conformational dynamics around the intrinsic fluorophore.
Journal ArticleDOI

The recovery of dipolar relaxation times from fluorescence decays as a tool to probe local dynamics in single tryptophan proteins.

TL;DR: A new algorithm taking into account the relaxation effect has been applied to the fluorescence decay function obtained by phase-shift and demodulation data, suggesting the presence of a relaxation process even in proteins that lack a lifetime-dependent spectral shift.

Mechanisms of Tryptophan Fluorescence Shifts in Proteins

TL;DR: This study predicted the fluorescence wavelengths of 19 tryptophans in 16 proteins using a hybrid quantum mechanical-classical molecular dynamics method with the assumption that only electrostatic interactions of thetryptophan ring electron density with the surrounding protein and solvent affect the transition energy.

Exposure of tryptophanyl residues in proteins. Quantitative determination by fluorescence quenching studies.

TL;DR: The value of this probing technique lies in its ability to sense not only the steady-state exposure of a residue in a protein, but also its dynamic exposure.

Dynamics of Solvation and Charge Transfer Reactions in Dipolar Liquids

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of solvent and solvent dynamics on chemical reactions, especially on charge transfer processes, have long been a subject of great importance in physical chemistry, and an understanding of the timedependent response of a polar solvent to a changing charge distribution in a polar solute molecule is essential to understand the role of solvent in many important chemical and biological processes in liquids.
