The fluorescence spectrum of the introduced tryptophans in the alpha 3(beta F155W)3gamma subcomplex of the F1-ATPase from the thermophilic Bacillus PS3 cannot be used to distinguish between the number of nucleoside di- and triphosphates bound to catalytic sites.

Abstract excerpt

It has been reported that shifts in the fluorescence emission spectrum of the introduced tryptophans in the betaF155W mutant of Escherichia coli F(1) (bovine heart mitochondria F(1) residue number) can quantitatively distinguish between the number of catalytic sites occupied with ADP and ATP during steady-state ATP hydrolysis (Weber, J., Bowman, C., and Senior, A. E. (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 18711--18718). In...
