J. Malicka et al., Fluorescence decay time distribution analysis of cyclic enkephalin analogues; Influence of solvent and Leu configuration in position on conformation, ACT BIOCH P, 48(1), 2001, pp. 95-102
Lifetime distribution analysis were performed to study the influence of Leu
configuration in position 5 on changes of the peptide chain of cyclic anal
ogues of enkephalins containing a fluorescence donor and acceptor in differ
ent solvents. The configuration change of Leu5 in all the analogues of enke
phalins studied which contain donor-acceptor pairs has no apparent influenc
e on Trp lifetime distributions, In contrast, there is a significant solven
t effect on the shape of lifetime distribution.
