37. Spin membrane immunoassay for use in meningococcal serology.
A modified and improved spin membrane immunoassay has been developed for detecting complement-activating antibodies to Neisseria meningitidis capsular polysaccharide antigens. The polysaccharides were incorporated in the membranes of large unilamellar vesicles prepared by the reverse-phase evaporation method and filled with the water-soluble spin label tempo

38. Probing triplex formation by EPR spectroscopy using a newly synthesized spin label for oligonucleotides
Spin labels have been extensively used to study the dynamics of oligonucleotides. Spin labels that are more rigidly attached to a base in an oligonucleotide experience much larger changes in their range of motion than those that are loosely tethered. Thus, their electron paramagnetic resonance spectra show larger changes in response to differences in the mob

39. Electron spin resonance studies of acyl chain motion in reconstituted nicotinic acetylcholine receptor membranes.
The electron spin resonance spectra of spin-label positional isomers of stearic acid (n-SASL) incorporated into nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAcChoR) reconstituted into dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) were deconvoluted into bilayer- and protein-associated components by subtraction under conditions of slow exchange. The selectivity of n-SASL (n = 6,

40. Spin labeled nucleic acids.
Homopolyribonucleotides and E. coli DNA wer spin labeled with an iodoacetamide-nitroxide compound. The extent of labeling is highly dependent upon the nature of the base and the secondary structure of the nucleic acid. This spin label-polymer linkage is unstable at high temperatures and in phosphate buffers. In order to determine the effect of changes in the

41. Fatty Acid Desaturase Mutants of Yeast: Growth Requirements and Electron Spin Resonance Spin-Label Distribution
Two respiratory-sufficient and one respiratory-deficient (nuclear petite) strains of yeast Δ9-desaturase mutants were analyzed to determine which fatty acids would serve as replacements for the naturally occurring fatty acids, 16:1 Δ9cis and 18:1 Δ9cis. The requirement can be satisfied by several fatty acids differing in double-bond position, steric confi

42. Effects of lutein and cholesterol on alkyl chain bending in lipid bilayers: a pulse electron spin resonance spin labeling study.
A short pulse saturation recovery electron spin resonance technique has been used to study the effects of polar carotenoid-lutein and cholesterol on interactions of 14N:15N stearic acid spin-label pairs in fluid-phase phosphatidylcholine (PC) membranes. Bimolecular collisions for pairs consisting of various combinations of [14N]-16-, [14N]-10-, [14N]-7-, or

43. Overall and internal dynamics of DNA as monitored by five-atom-tethered spin labels.
Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of the two-atom-tethered six-membered ring thymidylate spin label (DUMTA) incorporated into duplexes of different sizes were found to display a helix length dependence and a local-order parameter S = 0.32 +/- 0.01 for B-DNA based on the dynamic cylinder model (Keyes, R. S., and A. M. Bobst. 1995. Detection of int

44. Site-Directed Spin-Labeling Study of the Light-Harvesting Complex CP29
The topology of the long N-terminal domain (∼100 amino-acid residues) of the photosynthetic Lhc CP29 was studied using electron spin resonance. Wild-type protein containing a single cysteine at position 108 and nine single-cysteine mutants were produced, allowing to label different parts of the domain with a nitroxide spin label. In all cases, the apoprote

45. Membrane Fluidity in Human and Mouse Chediak-Higashi Leukocytes
Polymorphonuclear leukocytes from humans and mice with the Chediak-Higashi syndrome were characterized by spin label electron spin resonance spectrometry. Our results suggest that cells from afflicted mice and humans have membranes more fluid than controls. Order parameters for a spin label that probes near the membrane surface were 0.652 for normals and 0.6

46. Spin labeling of a cysteine residue of the Escherichia coli outer membrane lipoprotein in its membrane environment
A method was developed to attach a spin label to a specific site on the structural lipoprotein of the Escherichia coli outer membrane in situ. This method takes advantage of the fact that the outer membrane of wild-type E. coli contains few residues reactive towards sulfhydryl reagents. A mutant E. coli strain has been isolated [Suzuki, H., Nishimura, Y., Ik

47. In vivo spin-label murine pharmacodynamics using low-frequency electron paramagnetic resonance imaging.
A novel, very-low-frequency electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique is used to image the distribution of several nitroxides with distinct pharmacologic compartment affinities in the abdomens of living mice. Image acquisition is sufficiently rapid to allow a time sequence of the distribution for each compound. The spectra and concentrations of these n
