Abstract: | The applications of paramagnetic probes to problems of structure and mechanism are discussed from the point of view of the membrane enzymologist. Problems unique to membrane systems are discussed, and a variety of nuclear and paramagnetic probes are evaluated. Three membrane ATPase (kidney (Na+ + K+)-ATPase, Ca2+-ATPase from sarcoplasmic reticulum and Mg2+-ATPase from kidney) are used to describe the types of experiments which can be done, the information which can be obtained and the limitations involved. Nuclear relaxation studies employing 1H, 7Li+, 31P and 205Tl+ nuclei are described. The advantages and disadvantages of Mn2+, Gd3+ and Cr3+ as paramagnetic probes are discussed in terms of the three ATPases. The theory and interpretation of Mn2+ and Gd3+ EPR spectra are evaluated in studies with the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase and Ca2+-ATPase, respectively. |
