A tryptophan derivative can quench TMRM in solution. (A) Molecular structure of NATA, an uncharged l-tryptophan derivative that resembles the structure of nonterminal Trp in proteins. (B) The molecular structure of l-tryptophan. (C) Fluorescence spectra of 1 µM TMRM in external solution under increasing [NATA]. (D) Stern-Volmer plot of peak TMRM fluorescence (573 nm) quenched by NATA. The Stern-Volmer constant (KSV) is 41.3 M−1.
