Table 3.

Mean fluorescence lifetimes for spectrin tryptophans, NATA and PRODAN

System Mean fluorescence lifetime (ns)
Spectrin (native) 3.42
Spectrin (denatured) 4.26
NATA (water) 3.00
NATA (8 M Urca) 4.03
PRODAN (water) 1.54
PRODAN (bound to spectrin) 5.71

Mean fluorescence lifetimes were calculated using equation 6.
