Abstract excerpt
A method is presented that allows the calculation of the lifetimes of tryptophan residues on the basis of spectral and structural data. It is applied to two different proteins. The calcium binding protein from the sarcoplasm of the muscles of the sand worm Nereis diversicolor (NSCP) changes its conformation upon binding of Ca2+ or Mg2+. NSCP contains three tryptophan residues at position 4, 57, and 170,...
