    $\begingroup$ Any intrinsic trp , tyr, phe will fluoresce under uv excitation, and the emission wavelengths and fluorescence lifetimes in very many proteins is well studied. If the emission is at a different wavelength from these then some cross linking or other photo product could be being formed. Crystallin in your cornea, for example, undergoes a light induced chemistry. $\endgroup$
