Topics in Fluorescence Spectroscopy Volume 6: Protein Fluorescence
The intrinsic or natural fluorescence of proteins is perhaps the most complex area of biochemical fluorescence. Fortunately the fluorescent amino acids, phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan are relatively rare in proteins. Tr- tophan is the dominant int

Dedication
Dedicated to Professor Ludwig Brand for his Pioneering Contributions to Protein Fluorescence This volume of Topics in Fluorescence is dedicated to Prof. Ludwig Brand for his numerous contributions to our understanding of protein fluorescence. Prof. Brand was born in Vienna, Austria. He moved to England as a child before the second world war and came to Boston shortly after the war. Dr. Brand received his Ph.D. from the University of Indiana in 1959 in the field of Biochemistry. Dr. Brand studied with Professor H. R. Mahler at Brandeis University and then with Professor Ephraim Katchalski at the Weizmann Institute. After these studies he joined the Johns Hopkins University where he has remained to this day. Dr. Brand has made extensive contributions to the development of timeresolved fluorescence. He pioneered the use of time-correlated single photon counting for measurements of time dependent spectral relaxation and excited state reactions. He also accomplished the first and most definitive resolution of the emission from two tryptophan residues in a two tryptophan protein. Dr. Brand’s enthusiasm for the field of fluorescence and his consistent good humor have provided effective training for many individuals now using fluorescence to study biochemical and cellular phenomena. Please join us in wishing Dr. Brand continued health and productivity. J. R. Lakowicz, Baltimore, Maryland J. B. A. Ross, New York, New York
