Abstract
The relative limiting concentrations of triplet excited states of tryp tophar and tyrosine residues have been measured by the ESR method. The magnitude of limiting concentration of the tryptophan and tyrosine re sidues T1-states does not vary to fit their numbers in some proteins. A limitation on the concentration of T1-stales is accounted for by the fact that in protein molecules there occurs the radiationless excitat ion energy transfer of chromophores on residues in the triplet state.
