Structure and conformation of photosynthetic pigments and related compounds 7. On the conformation of the methyl ester of (20-methyl-phytochlorinato)nickel(II)--a bacteriochlorophyll c model compound.

abstract：:Evanescent wave illumination with total internal reflection is often used to provide excitation near a quartz-water interface. We now show that evanescent illumination at one wavelength and incident angle, coupled with light quenching at a second wavelength and incident angle, can be used for selective excitation of f...

abstract：:2-Aminoacetophenone (AAP) was recognized as the key compound for the so-called untypical aging off-flavor (UTA) in Vitis vinifera wines. In this study, it was shown that AAP can be formed by photooxidation of free and protein-bound tryptophan (TRP) in combination with a subsequent storage in model wine. Solutions of T...
