Sensitization of Lanthanides by Nonnatural Amino Acids
Abstract
The sensitization of Eu(III) and Tb(III) by ethylenediaminetetraaceticacid (EDTA)-derivatized tryptophan (Trp), 7-azatryptophan (7AW) and 5-hydroxytryptophan (5HW) has been examined. These Trp analogs were utilized in the present study because they can be incorporated into proteins in place of native Trp residues and because they absorb strongly beyond 305 nm (where Trp absorbance goes to zero), allowing selective excitation of such species in …
