abstract：:Luminescence of Tb3+ ions bound to a calmodulin fragment has been studied. It is shown that during their lifetime excited ions dissociate from the peptide. If concentration of free peptide is high enough they can be coordinated again. As a consequence, observed terbium luminescence lifetime and intensity depends not o...
