N-Acetyl-L-tryptophanamide (NATA) is an N-terminal and C-terminal blocked analogue of L-tryptophan. L-tryptophan, NATA and NATA-tyr molecules have intrinsic fluorescence which makes them useful in studies involving fluorescence and flurosence enhancement.
Fluorescence is a proven tool in all fields of knowledge, including biology and medicine. A significant obstacle in its use is the nonlinearity of the dependence of the fluorescence intensity on fluorophore concentration that is caused by the so-called primary
The effects of heavy water (D(2)O) on internal dynamics of proteins were assessed by both the intrinsic phosphorescence lifetime of deeply buried Trp residues, which reports on the local structure about the triplet probe, and the bimolecular acrylamide phosphorescence quenching
The fluorescence emission intensity from a conserved tryptophan residue (W501) located in the relay loop (F466 to L516) of the Dicytostelium discoideum myosin II motor domain is sensitive to ATP binding and hydrolysis. The initial binding process is accompanied by

Time-resolved fluorescence decay profiles of N-acetyl-l-tryptophanamide (NATA) and tryptophan (Trp) dipeptides of the form Trp-X and X-Trp, where X is another aminoacyl residue, have been investigated using an ultraviolet upconversion spectrophoto fluorometer with time resolution better than 350 fs, together
The dielectric relaxation (DR) of human serum albumin (HSA) was studied by the method of phase-fluorometry. The protein environment of the single tryptophan in HSA shows a relatively low-speed DR of sub-ns characteristic time. This relaxation can be measured as
