Using the light microscope, a correlation between ultra-violet fluorescence intensity of the cell and the cell area was established. This correlation does not depend on the large aperture of the microscope. A possible cause of this correlation is supposed to be either the proportionality between the mass of cytoplasmic protein and the squared cell radius, or a high optical density of cell elements.

The applications of the model of discrete forms of tryptophan allow one to separate these mechanisms and estimate the middle points of conformational changes and pK's of quenching groups. For chymotrypsin (CT) and chymotrypsinogen (CTG) conformational changes were registrated with middle points: CT pH 4.

This band is exposed on the phone of the tryptophane by wavelength excitation lambdaex=250-260 nm, and in pure scape by lambdaex=310-326 nm. Pyridoxin - substrate of vitamin B6 has identical parameters of spectra excitation and emission of neutral (pH 7) and acid (pH 2) solutions.
