Abstract
Abstract— The quenching of the fluorescence of aqueous tryptophan solutions has been studied as a function of emission wavelength using acrylamide as a collisional quencher. Our quenching studies are consistent with recent observations of the heterogeneity of tryptophan fluorescence, but they show a slight discrepancy when compared to certain analyses of the decay of tryptophan fluorescence in terms of two components.Keywords
