Table 2.
Relative changes in exposure of cell envelope protein Trp residues in different brines
Brine | Emission Peak (nm) | Trp Exposure to Brine |
---|---|---|
M2 | 325 | -- |
BSS (CTRL), E1 | 329 | ∅ |
M1, BSS-LS, E2 | 331 | ∅ |
M4 | 339 | +++ |
BSS is used as the reference point. A shift toward smaller wavelengths indicates more buried residues and a shift toward higher wavelengths more exposed residues. (−) Trp are more buried inside proteins; (∅) Trp are unaffected; (+) Trp are more exposed to the brine environment.
