Abstract
The laser induced photobleaching of crystal violet noncovalently bound to bovine serum albumin yields leuco crystal violet and Michler's ket one as reaction products. The first step of the bleaching process is p ostulated to be an electron or hydrogen atom transfer from the protein to the dye moiety.
