Abstract

Product analysis in the photolysis of triglycine in neutral aqueous solution suggests that the initial intramolecular electron transfer from the carboxylate to the peptide group, shown to lead to efficient (ϕ 0.44±0.11) photodegradation for glycylglycine, may be followed by transfer to the second peptide group.
