25. Roitberg, A. E, Krause, J. L. The system was built in Hyperchem 7.0 and run for 100 ns (T = 300 K) using the program Tinker.

Ponder's website at http://dasher.wustl.edu/tinker.) The MM3 force field was used, with the rotational barrier around the ethynylene triple bond raised to 0.6 kcal/mol to reflect experimental observables. The simulations were performed in a vacuum and should be interpreted only as guides to overall conformational shapes.

29. After many hours of UV excitation, we detect some changes in the emission spectrum due to photobleaching. We were careful to change samples before any degradation occurs.

33. The purity of the sample was checked by thin layer chromatography (TLC). In addition, we performed an experiment by titrating the 2G2-m-Per with 2G2-m-OH, comparing absorption and emission spectra as a function of added 2G2-m-OH. We conclude that the spectroscopy experiments are more sensitive than TLC and can detect 1-2% impurity. A concentration of 1% 2G2-m-OH yields at least 99% of the integrated fluorescence of the band peaked at 435 nm seen in Figure 3.
