In proteins, this reaction can be used for the fluorescent detection of proteins. Little characterization of products generated through the photochemical reaction of indoles with halocompounds has been done, yet is fundamental for the development of other fluorophores, protein labeling agents, and bioactive indole derivatives. Here, we have characterized which isomers form in the photoreaction between tryptophan and chloroform using <jats:sup>1<\/jats:sup>H\u2010<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">NMR<\/jats:styled-content> of tryptophan and methylated derivatives to reveal that the two major products that are formed result from modification at the 4\u2010 and 6\u2010carbon positions of the indole ring. Reaction at position 6 generates 6\u2010formyl tryptophan and the reaction at position 4 generates an imine because the formyl derivative that is initially formed reacts further with the tryptophan amine group. The spectroscopic properties and product molecular weights of photoproducts formed from photoreaction of tryptophan with other trihalo and monohalocompounds are also determined. The indole ring of tryptophan can be modified with various additions from halocompounds, including the addition of labels to the indole ring via methylene groups. This opens possibilities for generating novel tryptophan based fluorophores and protein labeling strategies using this photochemistry.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/php.12279","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,3]],"date-time":"2014-04-03T08:04:15Z","timestamp":1396512255000},"page":"1027-1033","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Excited State Photoreaction between the Indole Side Chain of Tryptophan and Halocompounds Generates New Fluorophores and Unique Modifications"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"90","author":[{"given":"Carol L.","family":"Ladner","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences Faculty of Science University of Calgary Calgary AB Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Khai","family":"Tran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences Faculty of Science University of Calgary Calgary AB Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mary","family":"Le","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences Faculty of Science University of Calgary Calgary AB Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Raymond J.","family":"Turner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences Faculty of Science University of Calgary Calgary AB Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robert A.","family":"Edwards","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences Faculty of Science University of Calgary Calgary AB Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1562\/0031-8655(2002)0750362TLIROT2.0.CO2"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1021\/bi050972p"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0065-3233(08)60243-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1751-1097.1984.tb03890.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1021\/ja047272c"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1021\/ja900094h"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2174\/138955710791330945"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/anie.201006423"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1248\/cpb.28.900"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1039\/p19920000797"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/anie.201100495"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00726-013-1467-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_1","first-page":"743","article-title":"Chloroform\u2010dependent photoproducts of tryptophan","volume":"37","author":"Voropei A.
