Computation of tryptophan fluorescence quenching by amide and histidine

Tryptophan fluorescence quantum yield is widely used to follow protein folding for the villin headpiece subdomain (HP-35) and a synthetic peptide Ac-W-(A) ₃ -H + -NH ₂ (WH5). These biopolymers have a histidine residue, which is a potent quencher of tryptophan fluorescence, po...
