The absorption spectra for three different amino acids,
phenylalanine (Phe), tryptophan (Trp), and tyrosine (Tyr) are shown
at right. The plot is the molar absorptivity ε versus wavelength.
Order the three amino acids according to their ability to absorb
210 nm light when all three are at equimolar concentrations. Rank
Tyr, Phe, and Trp in highest, intermediate, or lowest
absorption.
