Abstract:Protein fluorescence signals essential information about the conformational dynamics of proteins. Different types of intrinsic fluorophores reflect different protein local or global structural changes. Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) is a transport protein that contains two intrinsic fluorophores: Tryptophan134 (Trp134) and Tryptophan213 (Trp213). This protein displays an interesting temperature dependence of the tryptophan fluorescence. However, the molecular mechanism of the temperature dependence is still unclea… Show more
