이상의 결과로부터 spin lavel의 영향은 IASL, MSL은 이완상태 myosin head의 규칙적인 나선 배열은 흐트러진다. 특히 IASL은 효과가 크다. 적도반사의 변화로부터 myosin head는 spin label하는 것에 의해 actin filament 근방에 이동해 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 215 $\AA$ 반사의 감소는 spin lavel에 의한 myosin의 143 $\AA$주기성을 더욱 강하게 해 준다. 143 $\AA$, 72 $\AA$의 거동은 filament축으로부터 투영한 구조를 반영하기 때문에 IASL에는 143 $\AA$ 주기의 밀도분포가 완만하게 되어 있다는 것을 나타내고, MSL에는 143 $\AA$ 분포가 올라와 있다는 것을 나타낸다. actin 반사변화에서 MSL의 actin반사의 증가는 이동한 myosin head가 어떤 actin과 결합하였거나, spin lavel의 영향으로 actin의 구조가 변화되었다. 한편, IASL은 actin반사를 감소 시키기 때문에 myosin head의 결합을 하지 않았다. 결론적으로, 이것은 actin의 SH기에도 spin label되어 actin의 나선 구조가 크게 흐트러짐을 알 수 있었다

IASL(iodo acetamide spin label) and MSL(maleimide spin label) disordered the orderly helix arrangement of myosin in the rest state of spin level. Especially the effect of IASL was great. The muscle was isometrically tetanized with three trains of 3ms pulses every 50ms between $5^{\circ}C$ with $25^{\circ}C$. Equatorial reflection change inferred that myosin head was moved to the vicinity of actin filament by spin level. The intensity change of $143{\AA}$ and $72{\AA}$ could offer information of the mass projection of population of myosin head along the filament axis. The slope of intensity profile of the mass projection of $143{\AA}$ and reflection of IASL is appeared and that of MSL is appeared sharply. The decrease of $215{\AA}$ reflection intensity the periodical character of $143{\AA}$ reflection by spin label. The raise of MSL actin reflection at $51{\AA}$ and $59{\AA}$ in the actin reflection change refers that the shifted myosin head binds a certain actin or changes an actin structure by spin label effect. Because iodo acetamide has a tendency to decease the actin reflection, actin dose not bind myosin head. From this result, we can conclude that IASL and MSL are spin labeled on SH of myosin head and disordered the helix arrangement of actin.

Yeast cytochrome c (cyt c) was modified at cysteine-102 with a thiol-specific spin label and its interaction with liposomes containing acidic phospholipids was studied by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Association of cyt c with liposomes resulted in a significant reduction in the mobility of the spin label and a fraction of cyt c even seemed to be immobilized. Based on a large spectral change upon binding and the proximity of the spin-label to lysine-86 and -87, we propose these two residues to be the potential binding site at neutral pH. The interaction is electrostatic in nature because the spectral changes were reversed by addition of anions. Dissociation of the bound cyt c by anions, however, became less effective as the lipid/protein ratio increased. This suggests a repulsive lateral interaction among the bound cyt c. Unlabeled cyt c molecules added to preformed cyt c-liposome complex displaced the bound (spin labeled) cyt c and the process was competitive and reversible.

IASL(iodo acetamide) and MSL(maleimide) disordered the orderly helix arrangement of myosin in the rest state of spin level. Especially the effect of IASL was great. Equatorial refiection(10,11) change inferred that myosin head was moved to the vicinity of actin filament by spin level. The intensity change of 143${\AA}$ and 72${\AA}$ could offer information of the mass projection of population of myosin heads along the :filament axis. The slope of intensity profile of the mass projection of 143${\AA}$ and reflection of IASL is appeared and that of MSL is appeared sharply. The decrease of 215${\AA}$ reflection intensity is appeared the periodical characteristic of 143${\AA}$ reflection by spin label. The raise of MSL actin reflection at 51${\AA}$ and 59${\AA}$ in the actin reflection change refers that the shifted myosin head binds a certain actin or changes an actin structure by spin label effect. Because iodo acetamide has a tendency to decease the actin reflection, actin dose not bind myosin head. From this result, we could conclude that LASL and MSL are spin labeled on SH of myosin head and disordered the helix arrangement of actin.

Decay of the spin label attached to cytochrome c or to stearic acid has been measured by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy to monitor membrane oxidation induced by cytochrome c-membrane interaction. Binding of cytochrome c sequestered the acidic phospholipids and membrane oxidation was efficient in the order linoleic oleic>stearic acid for a fatty acid chain in the acidic phospholipids. The spin label on cyt c was destroyed at pH 7 whereas that on stearic acid embedded in the membrane was destroyed at pH 4, presumably due to different modes of cyt c-membrane interaction depending on pH. Interestingly, cyt c also interacts with phosphatidylethanolamine, an electrically neutral phospholipid, to cause rapid membrane oxidation. Both EPR and fluorescence measurements indicated that electrostatic interaction is at least partially responsible for the process.

The effect of temperature on the structure change of the SH of myosin head have been investigated with improved resolution by x-ray diffraction using synchrotron radiation. The movement of myosin head and conformational change of contractile molecules were occurred in the muscle contraction. IASL (iodo acetamide) and MSL (maleimide) disordered the orderly helix arrangement of myosin in the rest state of spin level. The temperature effect on the structure change was great at the UL in the equatorial reflection. But those of IASL and MSL were minor. Equatorial reflection (10, 11) change inferred that myosin head was moved to the vicinity of actin filament by temperature change (from $25^{\circ}C$ to $0^{\circ}C$) at UL, but spin level was not changed. The intensity change of 143 $\AA$ and 72 $\AA$ could offer information of the mass profection of population of myosin heads along the filament axis. The slope of intensity profile of the mass profection of 143$\AA$ and reflection of MSL is appeared sharply and those of UL and IASL were not changed. The decrease of MSL actin reflection at 51 $\AA$ and 59 $\AA$ in the actin reflection change refers that the shifted myosin head binds a certain actin or changes an actin structure. From these results, we could conclude that IASL and MSL were spin labeled on SH of myosin head and disordered the helix arrangement of actin.

In order to assess controversial' proposals concerning the fatty acid-induced uncoupling of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, we investigated the interaction of stearic acid with key mitochondrial proteins and measured the effect of stearic acid on the respiration of cytochrome c oxidase vesicles. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of spin-labeled stearic acid clearly demonstrated that cytochrome c oxidase interacts strongly with stearic acid. However, the respiration of detergent-solubilized cytochrome c oxidase was not altered significantly by stearic acid. Surprisingly, adenine nucleotide carrier, which was assumed to bind and translocate fatty acid anions in the Skulachev model of uncoupling, did not bind stearic acid at all. The respiration rate of cytochrome c oxidase vesicles was increased by ~70% in the presence of $20{\mu}m$ stearic acid and this uncoupling was attributed to a simple protonophoric effect of stearic acid.

A thiol-specific spin label was attached to cysteine-102 of yeast cytochrome c and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra were measured as a function of added cytochrome c oxidase concentration. The intensity decreased due to line broadening as cytochrome c formed a complex with cytochrome c oxidase and reached a minimum when the ratio of cytochrome c to cytochrome c oxidase became one. Replacement of either Lys-72 or Lys-87 of cytochrome c by Glu did not result in a significant change in binding affinity. Interestingly the K72E mutant, unlike K87E, had a much lower rate of electron transfer than the wild type. These results indicate that many positively charged residues as a group participate in complex formation but Lys-72 might be important for cytochrome c to be locked in an orientation for an efficient electron transfer. A stoichiometry of 1 was also confirmed by optical absorption of the cytochrome c-cytochrome c oxidase complex which had been run through a gel chromatography cloumn to remove unbound cytochrome c. The EPR spectrum of this 1:1 complex, however, was a mixture of two components. This explains a biphasic kinetics for a single binding site on cytochrome c oxidase without invoking conformational transition.

식물의 저온 스트레스 및 방어체계에 대한 기작론적 연구의 일환으로서, 저온에서 보이는 벼 유묘의 생장력 상실과 생체막의 상전이 및 세포질 대사 변화 간의 상관관계를 조사하였다. 주변환경의 온도가 내려감에 따라 유묘의 생장속도는 점차 감소하여 약 $13^{\circ}C$ 이하에서는 생장이 실질적으로 정지하였다. 이 온도는 미토콘드리아 내막의 물리적 상전이 온도 및 기능적 상전이 온도와 일치하였다. 또한 해당과정의 중간생성물인 glucose 6-phosphate(G6P), fructose 6-phosphate(F6P)의 함량과 온도간의 상관곡선에서 보여주는 변곡점도 $13^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 나타났다. 이들-세포생리의 생화학적, 생물물리적 특성들의 불연속적 변화를 나타내는-온도들의 일치는 저온하에서의 생장정지가 우선적으로 미토콘드리아막의 상전이에 기인하며, 이 상전이가 세포 대사의 불균형을 일으키는 주요인임을 시사한다. 저온처리된 벼를 다시 상온으로 옮겼을 때 축적된 G6P와 F6P함량의 급격한 감소가 관찰되었다. 이는 상온환원시 TCA cycle을 거쳐 호흡전자전달에 필요한 전자공여체를 짧은 시간에 과다생성시키는 요인이 되어 결과적으로 세포의 산화적 스트레스를 일으키는 원인이 되는 것으로 해석하였다.
