Abstract
The photoionization characteristics of a naphthol chromophore covalently te thered to a few different amino acids and small peptides are investigated. To isolate the chromophore from the biological molecules the linkage betwee n them is constructed from saturated alkyl chains of up to 12 carbons in le ngth. Experimental results are compared with those of previous studies that explored the photoionization of macromolecules.
