There are 20 amino acids in protein and L-tryptophan is one of them. It is an essential element to make up protein. Studying the action of the emitted qi on tryptophan will directly help to reveal the mechanism of the emitted qi that removes diseases and strengthens health. This experiment examined the ultraviolet dulling effect of L- tryptophan before and after the qi emission, using an ultraviolet-visible spectrometer. Temperature change was measured by a thermovision. The experiment sample was PHI'S L-tryptophan aqueous solution with a density of 10 mg/ml. The samples were classified into the experiment group and the contrast group. To affirm the chemical stability of the samples under normal temperature, the background samples received two examinations at the interval of l3.5 hours, as shown in Table 1. One hour before the action of the emitted qi, the initial temperature and the initial spectrum were examined. The qigong master emitted his qi at a long distance on the sample for about 40 minutes. The experimental result is illustrated in Table 2. At the wave lengths 244 nm and 280 nm, there turned up the apparent increase of ultraviolet absorption intensity. The increasing rate was from 4 per cent to 55. 9 per cent. see Table 1. Usually, this phenomenon of 'colour increasing effect' called in chemistry was impossible to turn up. Corresponding to variation of the molecular structure, the sample's temperature changed before and after the experiment. In both cases, it increased 2°C. This phenomenon shows that the variation of the molecular structure is exothermic.
