Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

In all proteins, the tryptophan residues undergo strong static and dynamic quenching, probably due to charge-transfer interactions with the nearby sulfur atoms of the active cysteines.

The phosphorescence spectra of Met(97) mutants are also blue-shifted, indicating that the sulfur atom decreases the transition energy between the (3)L(a) state of the Trp and the ground state.
