Electron spin resonance measurements of the effect of ionophores on the transmembrane pH gradient of an acidophilic bacterium.

Abstract:

:The delta pH in ionophore-treated cells of an acidophile has been determined by electron spin resonance spectroscopy. The values obtained were comparable to those obtained using the more conventional techniques involving radiolabeled probes. No binding of the spin-labeled probe was observed as determined by two independent control experiments and by the characteristics of the probe signal. These results led us to conclude that the delta pH measured in protonophore/ionophore-treated cells is a result of a Donnan potential, which may be a physical property of all intact bacterial cells at low pH values.

  • Intrinsically disordered proteins undergo and assist folding transitions in the proteome.

    abstract::The common notion in the protein world holds that proteins are synthesized as a linear polypeptide chain, followed by folding into a unique, functional 3D-structure. As outlined in many articles of this volume, this is in fact the case for a great proportion of the proteome. Many proteins and protein domains, however,...
