QUENCHING OF ENZYME GENERATED TRIPLET ACETONE BY 2‐METHYL‐1,4‐NAPHTOQUINONE

Abstract
2‐Methyl‐1,4‐naphtoquinone (vitamin K3) quenches the phosphorescence from enzyme‐generated triplet acetone. Concomitantly the vitamin undergoes a photochemical‐like alteration as the result of transfer of the electronic energy (kET– 1 ± 105 M‐1). This transfer appears to be of the long‐range type.
