Abstract excerpt
The effects of two single-point cavity-forming mutations, F110S and I7S, on the internal dynamics of azurin from Pseudomonas aeruginosa were probed by the phosphorescence emission of Trp-48, deeply buried in the compact hydrophobic core of the macromolecule. Changes in flexibility of the protein matrix around the chromophore were monitored by the intrinsic phosphorescence lifetime (tau(0)) whereas more general...
