Abstract
The quantum yields of photoisomerization of bilirubin to various isomers were determined in various solvents. A specific photoisomerization took place only in buffered solutions containing human serum albumin. We discuss the effects of solvents and media surrounding bilirubin on its Photoisomerization.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
