[Brownian motion of biological macromolecules studied by triplet-triplet dichroism: application to the 70S ribosome of E. coli].
The dichroism of the long-lived triplet-triplet absorption of covalent labels has been used for measuring the brownian rotational relaxation time of giant macromolecules in the microsecond time range. Using this method, a radius of 147 A has been found for E. coli 70 S ribosomes in solution.
