Abstract
We have studied the aerobic photolysis of the tryptophan residues of the proteins melittin and p-lactoglobulin when the proteins are in ordered conformations and when they are in randomly coiled states. The results suggest that the conformational status of the protein is a factor that influences the photolysis of the constituent tryptophan residues. This point appears to be of relevance to the photo-oxidation of the tryptophan residues of the eye lens proteins crystallins.
