Quenching of tryptophan fluorescence in human antithrombin III by iodide ion
Abstract:
Iodide is an efficient quencher of antithrombin III intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence. The quenching pattern indicates that about 60% of the tryptophyl fluorescence originates from exposed residues in the multitryptophan-containing protein. In denaturing media all of the tryptophyls are solvent-exposed. The binding of heparin to antithrombin III influences the number of solvent-exposed tryptophan residues. By studying the dependence of the quenching on pH, information regarding the presence of charged residues adjacent to tryptophyls was obtained.
