TL;DR
Fourth-derivative spectrophotometry offers several advantages over classical absorption or difference spectrophOTometry in examining the characteristics of aromatic amino acids in proteins.
Abstract
Fourth-derivative spectrophotometry offers several advantages over classical absorption or difference spectrophotometry in examining the characteristics of aromatic amino acids in proteins. The basic principles of the technique and its applications are outlined.

The second derivative absorption spectra of serum albumin, insulin, ribonuclease and lysozyme were measured under various conditions to determine the state and amount of their phenylalanine residues and they coincided well with those reported in the literature.

The analysis of the absorption spectra of model compounds of tyrosine and phenylalanine residues by means of fourth-derivative spectrophotometry is able to separate the contribution of the two chromophores, thus allowing the study of each one.

The method is applied to the study of conformational changes of three well-characterized proteins: melittin from bee venom, cytochrome c from horse heart and bacteriorhodopsin from Halobacterium halobium and the results obtained are found to be in accordance with the known conformational properties of these proteins.

The temperature dependence of fluorescence yields exhibits a discontinuity at about 30°C coincident with previously observed transitions in membrane lipid microviscosity, photocycle lifetime and photoconductivity, which indicates exposed Trp in native bacteriorhodopsin are in the minority.
