High-temperature fluorescence of low- and high concentration aqueous ATP solution

Abstract

The results of an experimental study of luminescence of an aqueous solution of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) at room temperature are presented. High-temperature fluorescence of low- and high-concentrated solution was experimentally detected and analyzed. The shape of the fluorescence spectrum, the excited state lifetime and the temperature behavior of the emission intensity indicate the formation in the high-concentrated solution of rather stable dimer-like complexes, which can form excimer states.
