Abstract:An analysis of the kinetics of three possible bimolecular quenching processes affecting the rates of formation and decay of the excited triplet state species in tyrosine and tryptophan has been carried out. For each possibility both the rate of formation and the rate of decay were considered, and the effects of concentration of amino acid and intensity of excitation source examined. In every case, a closed form equation was obtained and compared to what must be considered preliminary data of three possibilities, and in the light of the limited data only one, namely T1 + S0 → 2S0, could be considered to conform to the observations. In the case of tryptophan, estimates of several rate constants were possible and the probability of the T1S1 transition was considered negligible. For tyrosine, these estimates were not possible for lack of sufficiently accurate data, but the T1S1 transition here was demonstrated to be significant.
