The native form of turkey liver fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (FbPase) consists of four identical subunits, each of which contains one tryptophan residue. The fluorescence emission spectra of the tryptophan residues have been recorded as a function of changes in pH, substrate (fructose 1,6-bisphosphate) and inhibitor (adenosine-5’ monophosphate) binding, and the addition of the metal cofactors Mg+2, Mn+2 and Co+2 . Changes in the fluorescence emission spectra of the tryptophan residues indicate that conformational changes in the enzyme occur under the above conditions.
