Dendritic biomimicry: microenvironmental effects on tryptophan fluorescence†

Abstract

Branched tryptophan derivatives were synthesised and their optical properties investigated in a range of solvents: the steady state fluorescent emission from the indole ring sheds light on both the nature of a hydrogen bonding dendritic microenvironment and the optical behaviour of tryptophan residues in biological systems.
