“…Reddy et al 9 ) reported that an increase in the fluorescence intensity (F max) accompanied by a red shift in Amax at pH S and the quenching of the fluorescence intensity (Fmax) at pH 2 occurred in p-Iactoglobulin during heating in the solution. Our observation obtained in dry-heating of p-Iactoglobulin is consistent with that of the heating in a solution at pH S. Miles 10 ) reported that quenching of Fmax during heating of p-lactoglobulin in acidic solution is attributed to the conformational changes leading to the exposure of tryptophan groups to the polar enviroment. Therefore, the increase in F max during dry-heating can be explained on the structural and conformational basis as follows.…”

“…Under our experimental conditions, we observed no change in the wavelength of maximum fluorescence intensity for non-heated mixtures, relative to non-heated p-lg alone (figure 3a). As expected from earlier studies [24], tryptophan spectrofluorimetric spectra (figure 3b) showed that pre-heating the pure protein solution from 20 "C to 80 "C, led to increased value of maximum fluorescence intensity (+ 15 %) and to a Stokes' shift (3 to 4 nm), in compararison with unheated proteins, where the maximum wavelength of fluorescence intensity was observed at 333 nm. The increased value in maximum fluorescence intensity and the red-shift in its wavelength indicates more exposure of initially buried hydrophobie residues of p-lg molecules to the aqueous medium, after the heating/cooling.…”

“…According to the current interpretation of protein tryptophan fluorescence data (Permyakov et al, 1982(Permyakov et al, , 1985, and to previous intrinsic fluorescence studies on /~-LG (Mills, 1976), it appears that exposure of the protien at temperatures below 60~ resulted in a reversible modification of the hydrophobic regions around the protein tryptophans. The increase in ~,~m, should have resulted from increased exposure of the tryptophan residues to the solvent, and the decreased quantum yield to their interaction with quenching groups.…”
