Abstract excerpt
MPT63, a secreted protein of unknown function that is specific to Mycobacterium tuberculosis and a potential drug target, contains four Tryptophan (Trp/W) residues located at positions 26, 48, 82, and 129 in the amino acid sequence. All of the four Trp residues have been optically resolved by simple inexpensive phosphorescence spectroscopy at 77 K. The protein architecture provides a delicate micro-environment...
