Thermal lability of membrane proteins of age separated erythrocytes as studied by electron spin resonance spin label technique.

چکیده
Thermal lability of bovine erythrocyte membrane proteins was studied by electron spin resonance using maleimide spin label. The temperature of the sample during measurements could be varied for the first time between 0 and 60 degrees C with an accuracy of +/- 0.1 degrees C. Our results show that "old" erythrocyte membrane proteins are less stable against thermal denaturation then "young" cells.

A spin label study of the effect of chrysotile asbestos on erythrocyte membranes.
Alterations in erythrocyte membranes caused by UICC B chrysotile asbestos fibres were studied in red cell ghosts using the spin label technique. The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of two sulphydryl reactive spin labels and one fatty acid spin probe in erythrocyte ghosts showed membrane protein modifications but no changes in lipid fluidity caused by the haemolytic chrysotile asbe...
متن کاملA spin label study of the effects of asbestos, quartz, and titanium dioxide dusts on the bovine erythrocyte membrane.
The effects of five UICC asbestos samples, titanium dioxide, and quartz on the bovine red cell membrane have been studied in erythrocyte ghosts by the spin labelling technique. Analysis of the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of two sulphydryl reactive spin labels and one fatty acid spin label in red cell ghosts showed modifications in membrane protein after asbestos treatment but ...
متن کاملRegulation of Membrane Flexibility in Human Erythrocytes.
We have used spin-labels to detect prostaglandin E induced changes in erythrocyte membranes. The observed changes in spin-label resonance spectra can be mimicked in erythrocyte ghosts by loading them with cAMP or cGMP. These changes can also be observed by adding either of these cyclic nucleotides to intact cells. This entry of cyclic nucleotides into intact cells is blocked by an inhibitor of ...

The purpose of the present study was to investigate erythrocyte membrane abnormalities in hypertension by means of an electron spin resonance and spin-label technique. The erythrocytes from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and humans with untreated essential hypertension were examined and compared with their normotensive counterparts, and electron spin resonance spectra were obtained for a...

Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, also known as Electron Spin Resonance(ESR) especially among physicists, is a strong and versatile spectroscopic method forinvestigation of paramagnetic systems, i.e. systems like free radicals and most transition metalions, which have unpaired electrons. The sensitivity and selectivity of EPR are notable andintriguing as compared to other spec...
