pubmed:abstractText
Enzyme I of the bacterial phosphoenolpyruvate: glycose phosphotransferase system has 2 tryptophan residues/monomer, as determined spectrophotometrically. The tryptophan fluorescence has been investigated with the aid of nanosecond time-resolved techniques. The decay of the fluorescence intensity was analyzed in terms of a biexponential function. The contribution of the emission associated with the shorter decay constant increases from 17-19% at 1 degree C to 43-44% at room temperature. Decay-associated spectra obtained with Enzyme I indicate different spectral distributions associated with the two decay constants. The measurement of tumbling of Enzyme I as a function of temperature revealed a transition of rotational rates between 5 and 15.5 degrees C. Global analysis allowed decomposition of the anisotropy decay into a formulation consistent with monomer and dimer rotational contributions.
