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.
