(8) High-quality phosphorescence decay curves with a 10-microseconds time resolution were obtained at concentrations of the eosin probe down to 20 nM and in aqueous media at temperatures of 4-38 degrees C. A strong temperature dependence in the rotational behavior was observed for the band 3 anion transport protein, but the lectin receptors of the Friend erythroleukemia cells were found to be immobile on the time scale of 1-4000 microseconds at either 4 degrees C or 37 degrees C. The technique is applicable to other triplet probes and membrane components of living cells under conditions that do not destroy viability.

(10) Samples of Precambrian rocks (1.7-2.6 billion years, U.S.S.R.) contain metalloporphyrins and linear tetrapyrrole pigment similar to phycobilin 655 from modern blue-green algae Microystis (according to data of phosphorescence spectroscopy).
(11) Barring major enzyme conformational changes in the vicinity of unmodified tryptophan residues when Trp-62 or Trp-108 are selectively modified, we find that Trp-108 dominates both the phosphorescence and the ODMR signals in native lysozyme.
(12) The second-order rate constants, k delta, for quenching of molecular singlet oxygen O2 (1 delta g) by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory imidazole drugs have been determined using time-resolved phosphorescence detection of singlet oxygen.
(13) Images of the phosphorescence were collected using a series of different delay times after illumination with a light flash (less than 5-microseconds width at half-height), and the phosphorescence decay constants (lifetimes) and oxygen pressure were calculated for each pixel of the image arrays.
(14) Upon irradiation, a solution of porphyrins containing more than 0.1% HSA shows phosphorescence with a lifetime longer than 1 ms. With an increase in irradiation time, phosphorescence intensities and lifetimes of porphyrins increase, depending upon their concentrations and triplet lifetimes, and approach saturated values close to those under deaerated conditions.
(15) Changes in conformation of glutamate dehydrogenase from beef liver as a result of interactions with allosteric effectors have been demonstrated from the phosphorescence emission of tryptophan.
(16) In addition, at 77 K and 275 nm 4-fluorotryptophan displayed strong fluorescence and phosphorescence, with emission quantum yields comparable with those of tryptophan at 77 K and 275 nm.
(17) The phosphorescence spectra and phosphorescence excitation spectra as well as the ratio of fluorescence and phosphorescence yields and the triplet state lifetume have been measured.
(18) Its phosphorescence decay fits well to two exponential components of 1.02 and 0.12 s, with no contribution from long-lived Trp residues.
(19) The mammalian heterogeneous ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) A1 and its constituent N-terminal domain, termed UP1, have been studied by steady-state and dynamic fluorimetry, as well as phosphorescence and optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) spectroscopy at cryogenic temperatures.
(20) The phosphorescence 0,0 band as well as the zero-field splittings of Trp-134 undergoes significant changes upon binding of oleic acid to BSA.
Phosphoroscope
Definition:
(n.) An apparatus for observing the phosphorescence produced in different bodies by the action of light, and for measuring its duration.
Example Sentences:

(4) Using a phosphoroscope, delayed luminescence and prompt chlorophyll fluorescence from isolated chloroplasts have been compared during the induction period.
(5) With the use of mechanical phosphoroscopes the photoinduced luminescence of singlet oxygen (1270 nm) have been found in air saturated solutions of chlorophyll a, bacteriochlorophyll a, protochlorophyll and pheophytins in CCl4, CS2, and freon 112.
(6) The delayed fluorescence of chlorophyll a was measured with a phosphoroscope by changing the temperature in a range of room temperatures in intact cells of blue-green algae, Anacystis nidulans, two strains of Anabaena variabilis and Plectonema boryanum, and other kinds of algae, Cyanidium caldarium and Chlorella pyrenoidosa.
