The Investigation of Model Biological Systems Under High Pressure by Fluorescence Spectroscopy

Abstract

dc:description

Fluorescence spectroscopy was used to investigate the effect of hydrostatic pressure on three systems: the binding of small ligands to polymers of (beta)-cyclodextrin, the interaction of ethidium bromide with phenylalanine-specific transfer ribonucleic acid from brewers yeast, and the pressure denaturation of lysozyme and chymotrypsinogen as detected by fluorescence polarization.
