The change in secondary structure upon treatment with ferrous ions was observed at the WMF of the tryptophan residues in HDL3. The WMF was determined from the uncorrected spectra obtained on an FL6500 spectrofluorometer (Perkin–Elmer, Norwalk, CT, USA) using Spectrum FL software version 1.2.0.583 (Perkin–Elmer) and a 1 cm path-length Suprasil quartz cuvette (Fisher Scientific, Pittsburgh, PA, USA). The samples were excited at 295 nm to avoid tyrosine fluorescence. As described previously, the emission spectra were scanned from 305 to 400 nm at room temperature [56 (link)].
