Abstract

Abstract The quantum yields of photoisomerization of bilirubin to various isomers were determined in various solvents. A specific photoisomerization took place only in buffered solutions containing human serum albumin. We discuss the effects of solvents and media surrounding bilirubin on its Photoisomerization.
