Interaction of tetrapyrrolic rings with rhodamine 110 and 123 and with rhodamine 110 derivatives bearing a peptidic side chain.
Rhodamines 110 and 123, and rhodamine 110 linked via peptide bonds to Arg, Cbz-Arg and Cbz-Ile-Pr-Arg interact with free base porphyrins or cytochrome C. Rhodamines 110 and 123 essentially form 1:1 complexes while the other derivatives form 2:1 complexes. The possible biological implications of these results are discussed.
