The reaction between the triplet excited state of riboflavin and amino acids, peptides, and bovine
whey proteins was investigated in aqueous solution in the pH range from 4 to 9 at 24 °C using
nanosecond laser flash photosynthesis. Only tyro sine and tryptophan (and their peptides) were found to
compete with oxygen in quenching the triplet state of riboflavin in aqueous solution, with second-order
rate constants close to the diffusion limit, 1.75 109 and 1.40 109 L mol-1 s-1 for tyrosine
and tryptophan, respectively, with â-lactoglobulin and bovine serum albumin having comparable rate
constants of 3.62 108 and 2.25 108 L mol-1 s-1, respectively. Tyrosine, tryptophan, and their
peptides react with the photo-excited triplet state of riboflavin by electron transfer from the tyro sine
and tryptophan moieties followed by a fast protonation of the resulting riboflavin anion rather than by
direct H-atom abstrac-tion, which could be monitored by time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy
as a decay of triplet riboflavin followed by a rise in riboflavin anion radical absorption. For
cysteine- and thiol-containing peptides, second-order rate constants depend strongly on pH, for
cysteine corresponding to pKaRSH ) 8.35. H-atom abstraction seems to operate at low pH, which
with rising pH gradually is replaced by electron transfer from the thiol anion. From the pH dependence
of the second-order rate constant, the respective values for the H-atom abstraction (k ) 1.64 106
L mol-1 s-1) and for the electron transfer (k ) 1.20 109 L mol-1 s-1) were determined.
