The presence of two essential tryptophan residues/molecule was implicated in the binding site of Abrus agglutinin [Patanjali, Swamy, Anantharam, Khan & Surolia (1984) Biochem. J. 217, 773-781]. A detailed study of the stopped-flow kinetics of the oxidation of tryptophan residues revealed three classes of tryptophan residues in the native protein. A discrete reorganization of tryptophan residues revealed three classes of tryptophan residues in the native protein. A discrete reorganization of tryptophan residues into two phases was observed upon ligand binding. The heterogeneity of tryptophan exposure was substantiated by quenching studies with acrylamide, succinimide and Cs+. Our study revealed the microenvironment of tryptophan residues to be hydrophobic, and also the presence of acidic amino acid residues in the vicinity of surface-localized tryptophan residues.
