THE NATURE OF ULTRAVIOLET LUMINESCENCE OF CELLS

Abstract

A study is made of the spectra of luminescence at room and low temperatures with integral and monochromatic excitation. Also studied were the spectra of excitation of luminescence and polarization spectra of luminescence (based on absorption) of isolated fractions of mitochondria and nuclei from the hepatic cells of white rats. The spectra show that the luminescence of mitochondria and nuclei of these cells, which was excited in the spectral range of 250-300 nm, is caused exclusively by proteins (tryptophan).
