Trp fluorescence quenching studies of Rv3868 and NT-Rv3868 by acrylamide
and ATP. The quenching of intrinsic fluorescence of the proteins was
followed after the addition of increasing concentrations of acrylamide or ATP.
A, fluorescence quenching observed in Rv3868 (•), Rv3868 + ATP
(▾), and NT-Rv3868 (▴) proteins upon the addition of acrylamide.
The Stern-Volmer quenching constants (KSV) corresponded to
plot slopes (Equation 6). B, relative decrease in TRP fluorescence
upon the addition of ATP in Rv3868 + ATP + MgCl2 (1),
Rv3868 + ATP (2), and NT-Rv3868 + ATP+MgCl2 (3)
samples, respectively.
