Abstract

The photochemistry of small peptides has been a popular model in the investigation of the effect of UV radiation on proteins.' Although most attention has been given to dipep- tides containing aromatic groups, residues with saturated side chains are more numerous in proteins and this, together with the possible involvement of peptide bonds following absorp- tion elsewhere,2 indicates the potential importance of photo- chemical studies with simple ...
