Dependences of different fluorescence parameters of bovine beta-lactoglobulin AB on the concentrations of urea (pH 2.8-8.8), ethanol (pH 2.1-10.2), and dioxane (pH 5.3) have been investigated. The denaturation properties (the free energy and the stoichiometry of denaturative interaction) are highly dependent on pH values. The data obtained indicate that the hydrophobic interactions are the determining forces in the stabilization process of the beta-lactoglobulin molecule. The relative contribution of these interactions lowers with pH rise. The denaturation of beta-lactoglobulin AB proceeds through two stages under conditions when the protein octamer exists. Up to 30 vol.% of ethanol and dioxane, the penetration of the organic molecules into the external parts of the protein globule takes place. At the concentration of the solvent exceeding 50 vol.% structural transitions are observed. The comparison of fluorescence and perturbation spectral data enables one to localise tryptophan residues in the protein more precisely. The results of this and former reports lead to hypothesis that beta-lactoglobulin may serve as a transporter of some substances which are unstable to acidic media.

Influence of pH on absorbance and CD-spectra of DNA in PEG-containing water-salt solutions has been studied. The changes in the spectra appeared due to disturbance of the DNA secondary structure upon acidification of the medium proir to or after DNA compactization. If acidification preceeds DNA compactization an intense negative band in the CD spectrum inherent to the compact particles is observed at pH values 7-4. The intensity of the band decreases with an increase of the acidity. The size of the compact particles as evaluated from the dependence of the apparent optical density on the wavelength value remains unchanged (about 1200 A). If the solution is strongly acidified (pH 4.0-2.8) and a considerable disturbance in the DNA secondary structure takes place a negative band in the CD spectrum completely disappears. If one acidifies a solution containing preformed DNA compact particles a decrease of the intensity of the CD negative band starts at lower pH values (less than 2.8). This process is accompanied by an increase of the size of the particles. Acidic "denaturation" of DNA within the compact particles (pH approximately 2.5) is followed by a dissappearance of the CD negative band and a considerable increase of the particle size. The data obtained indicate that the specific arrangement of DNA strands manifested in a CD negative band depends on the defects in the DNA secondary structure.

A detailed kinetic analysis has been performed of a multistep inactivation of chloroplasts. The kinetic model suggested involves the formation of chloroplast forms differing in stability and activity. A comparison of the kinetic model with the experimental data shows that the mechanism of inactivation of isolated pea chloroplasts consists of at least two forms displaying different activity in the Hill reaction and different stability in solution. The effect was studied of the nature of the buffer and destruction products on the kinetics of chloroplast inactivation in the process of "ageing". In phosphate buffer, where the concentration of phosphate exceeds 40 mM, the effect of the destruction products of chloroplasts on their inactivation is insignificant. The pH dependence on the inactivation kinetics suggests that the pH region from 6 to 9 affects only the rapid kinetic process resulting in the increase in the chloroplast activity; irreversible inactivation of chloroplasts is pH-independent. The temperature dependence of the irreversible inactivation kinetics has been studied and the activation parametres of this stage have been determined. Possible molecular mechanism of the limiting stages of the inactivation of isolated chloroplasts are discussed, which can explain the kinetic data obtained.

d-Amino acid oxidase can oxidize the substrate to a ketoacid in the absence of oxygen. The stoichiometry of this reaction is precisely 1 molecule of keto acid for 1 molecule of enzyme, containing two flavin groups. Hence, the flavin must be in the semi-reduced free radical state. But these free radicals cannot be visualized by ESR spectroscopy because of closeness and strong interaction. After the acid denaturation of the protein the coenzyme is released as a semi-reduced free radical. An alternative method of registration is the transfer of the free radical state to an added excess of free flavin molecules. By both methods it is quantitatively determined that each flavin of the enzyme is reduced to a free radical. Therefore, we believe to have evidenced unambiguously that this enzymatic reaction proceeds via a free radical transition state.

Parameters of rotational relaxation of pepsin conjugated in neutral and slightly alkaline solutions with a fluorescent label 1-dimethylaminonaphthalene-5-sulphonyl chloride (DNS-Cl) are measured by a fluorescence polarization method. It is shown that the globule of pepsin denatured and loose at lakaline pH values converts into a compact form after transfer to acidic solution. The compactness of this new form is close to that of native inhibited pepsin. A new globule is distinguished from the native by the absence of segmental flexibility. Conjugated with a DNS at pH less than or equal to 7.0 pepsin relaxes in solution as catalytically active dansylated aminopepsin (DNS-3-aminotyrosine pepsin). Evidence is presented that these conjugates are also characterized by segmental flexibility.
