Abstract excerpt

FtsZ, the master coordinator of bacterial cell division, assembles into filaments in the presence of nucleotide. FtsZ from Streptococcus pneumoniae bears two tryptophan residues (W294 and W378) in its amino acid sequence. The tryptophan fluorescence of FtsZ increases during the assembly of FtsZ. We hypothesized that this increase in the fluorescence intensity was due to the change in the environment of one or...
