Abstract excerpt
Trp is the most spectroscopically informative aromatic amino acid of proteins. However, the near-UV circular dichroism (CD) spectrum of Trp is complicated because the intensity and sign of (1)La and (1)Lb bands vary independently. To resolve vibronic structure and gain site-specific information from complex spectra, deconvolution was combined with cooling and site-directed tryptophan substitution. Low temperature...
