Abstract
⺠Fluorescence quenching of pterins in neutral phosphate buffer was measured. ⺠All pterins studied had a fluorescence lifetimes between 4 and 9 ns. ⺠All pterins were efficiently quenched by iodide anion with a rate constant near that of diffusion. ⺠Photo-induced electron-transfer reactions of pterins are likely to occur in humans.
