Abstract

A circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) spectrometer has been built and used to study the binding interaction of lactate and four different proteins with racemic EuIII and TbIIIcomplexes in aqueous solution. Lactate binding gives rise to strong induced CPL spectra, andthe observed emission dissymmetry factors vary linearly with enantiomeric composition. Particularly strong induced TbIIICPL also characterizes the binding interaction of alpha-1-acid glycoprotein with a dissociation constant, Kd, of 2.5 μM.
