Abstract
Steady-state intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence and circular dichroism spectroscopy are used to investigate the conformation of the acidic Q-rich region. The findings support a role for protein folding in the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) action and suggest possible mechanisms of receptor-dependent gene activation.
