Abstract excerpt
The vibrational structure of native anchoring tryptophan (Trp) and tyrosine residues in an integral membrane protein, bacterial outer membrane protein A (OmpA), have been investigated using UV resonance Raman (UVRR) spectroscopy for the first time. Spectra of native OmpA, a single-Trp mutant, and a Trp-less mutant were recorded in folded and unfolded states, and reveal significant changes in tryptophan structure...
