Fluorescence quenching and time-resolved fluorescence of alpha-mannosidase, a multitryptophan protein from Aspergillus fischeri were carried out to investigate the tryptophan environment. The tryptophans were found to be differentially exposed to the solvent and were not fully accessible to the neutral quencher indicating heterogeneity in the environment. Quenching of the fluorescence by acrylamide was collisional. Surface tryptophans were found to have predominantly positively charged amino acids around them and differentially accessible to the ionic quenchers. Denaturation led to more exposure of tryptophans to the solvent and consequently in the significant increase in quenching with all the quenchers. The native enzyme showed two different lifetimes, tau (1) (1.51 ns) and tau (2) (5.99 ns). The average lifetime of the native protein (tau) (3.187 ns) was not affected much after denaturation (tau) (3.219 ns), while average lifetime of the quenched protein samples was drastically reduced (1.995 ns for acrylamide and 1.537 ns for iodide). This is an attempt towards the conformational studies of alpha-mannosidase.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.601</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mohapatra, Debendra K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bhattasali, Debabrata</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gujar, Mukund K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Khan, Mohammad Islam</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shashidhara, K.

Herein, we describe the first asymmetric total synthesis of this natural product. A stereoselective strategy for rapid assembly of the complete framework of the 30-membered macrocyclic core is delineated herein. Sequential amidation and intramolecular Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions were pivotal to the success of our efforts. ((C) Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH &amp;amp; Co.
