Abstract:
:The effect of ATP upon difference absorbance due to Ca2+ and Mg2+ complexation with the metallochromic dye, Antipyrylazo III (AP III), was investigated. At divalent cation concentrations appropriate for Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Ca2+ transport, wavelengths (greater than 670 nm) were found whereupon the addition of up to 1mM nucleotide did not alter divalent cation:AP III difference absorbance. At these sample wavelengths an initial rapid uptake of Ca2+ by Heavy SR (HSR) was clearly resolved by dual wavelength spectroscopy of Ca2+:dye difference absorbance. Elimination of ATP interference of Ca2+:AP III absorbance by Mg2+ elevation (3-10mM) was shown to be an inappropriate general strategy for AP III spectroscopic studies of HSR Ca2+ transport due to Mg2+ inhibition of ryanodine receptor mediated Ca2+ release.
