Abstract

Tb³⁺ was found to bind the highest affinity Zn²⁺ site in alkaline phosphatase and as evidenced by the phosphorescent properties of tryptophan-109 to restore the holoconformation of the protein. Protein-bound Tb³⁺ displays an intense long-lived emission having two unusual features: (1) sensitization from the excited singlet state of tryptophan and (2) a lifetime (14 ms) which is five times greater than the longest-lived chelates so far known. The long-lived lanthanide emission is consistent with complete shielding of the metal ion from coordination of solvent molecules.
