The structural and enzymatic aspects of renin are of great interest in hypertension research. In this paper, we examine the solution accessibility of the three tryptophan (Trp) residues of mouse submaxillary gland renin by solute collisional fluorescence quenching. Our studies indicate that there are two "classes" of Trp residues in renin: class I, a class of Trp residues which are at or near t...
