Fluorescence Spectrum of Ovalbumin Solution

Full spectrum filterless fluorescence microscopy.

In conventional microscopes, fluorescence emission is separated from the backscattered illumination using the Stokes shift, whereby the emission occurs at a longer wavelength to the excitation. Such separation is usually achieved through a combination of wavelength filters that divide the spectrum into mutually exclusive excitation and emission bands. It is therefore impossible in these microsc...

Determining the fluorescence spectrum of a protein.

Fluorescence spectra of proteins are determined chiefly by the polarity of the environment of the tryptophan and tyrosine residues and by their specific interactions. A thorough consideration of fluorescence spectrometers and their calibration is provided along with important information regarding spectrometer cells, buffers and clarification of samples. Protocols are provided for recording flu...

Polarization of the fluorescence of macromolecules. II. Fluorescent conjugates of ovalbumin and bovine serum albumin.

Chlorophyll fluorescence emission spectrum inside a leaf.

Chlorophyll a fluorescence can be used as an early stress indicator. Fluorescence is also connected to photosynthesis so it can be proposed for global monitoring of vegetation status from a satellite platform. Nevertheless, the correct interpretation of fluorescence requires accurate physical models. The spectral shape of the leaf fluorescence free of any re-absorption effect plays a key role i...

Heating of an ovalbumin solution at neutral pH and high temperature.

The thermal denaturation, aggregation, and degradation of hen egg white ovalbumin dissolved in distilled and deionized water (60 mg/ml, pH 7.5) was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), and viscosity measurement. Two independent endothermic peaks were observed up to 180 degrees C by the DSC analysis. The first peak appeared at around...
