Fluorescence properties of Trp mutants of MscL

Mutant λmax (nm) in di(C18:1)PC Distance along bilayer normal from L69 (Å)
A20W 329.3 ± 0.2 24.3
I23W 325.2 ± 0.1 20.1
L30W 327.6 ± 0.1 11.6
V31W 323.9 ± 0.1 11.6
F34W 326.2 ± 0.4 7.1

Wavelengths of maximum fluorescence emission intensity (λmax) were obtained by fitting fluorescence spectra recorded in di(C18:1)PC to Eq. 1 for a skewed Gaussian. Distances along the bilayer normal were calculated as described in the text.
