Abstract

The true molecular photophysical parameters’ values of tryptophan residues in single-tryptophan-containing and two-tryptophan-containing proteins (by the example of human serum albumin and bovine serum albumin) have been determined for the first time with the use of the authors’ suggested algorithm. The algorthm is based on the simultaneous use of nonlinear and kinetic-laser fluorimetry. The obtained result opens up new approaches in the monitoring of living systems and other objects, containing single fluorophores and localized pairs of fluorophores.
