382 FLUORESCENCE ANISOTROPY<br />

B. Now assume that the quantum yield <strong>of</strong> DNS increases<br />

tw<strong>of</strong>old upon binding to BSA. What is K d ?<br />

C. How would you determine whether the quantum<br />

yield <strong>of</strong> DNS changes upon binding to BSA?<br />

D. Predict the time-resolved anisotropies for each solution<br />

at 20EC. Assume P 0 = 0.3913 for DNS and that<br />

the rotational correlation times <strong>of</strong> DNS and BSA are<br />

well approximated by that predicted for an anhydrous<br />

sphere. The molecular weight <strong>of</strong> BSA is near<br />

66,000 g/mol. The viscosity <strong>of</strong> water at 25EC is<br />

0.894 cP (g cm –1 sec –1 ). The density <strong>of</strong> BSA can be<br />

taken as 1.2 g/cm 3 .<br />
