Gramicidin with hplc

Of azolectin. Incubation mixture: 0.05 M Tris-HCl pH 7.5 ; . The first and second additions: 6 x 10-7gramicidin; the third addition: 1 x 1Om5 M gramicidin. The dark resistances before and after gramicidin additions were the same and equal to 3 x 10" ohms. - ; and + ; , compartments charging in the light before gramicidin additions ; negatively and positively, respectively. noid-free preparations. This fact testifies against the possibility of energy migration from carotenoids to bacteriorhodopsin. Fig. 9B shows the photoresponse plotted against intensity of the light. Some decrease in the effect at high light intensities is noteworthy. In all experiments but that shown by Fig. 9, saturating light was used 200 FW mm' ; . In Fig. 9A the light intensities were lowered down to the value which produced a photoeffect which amounted to 5% of maxima1 at 570 nm. Fig. 10 demonstrates the photoeffect as the function of the potential difference generated across the planar membrane by an external battery AV , ; . A linear relationship was revealed. At certain AL' , in Fig. 10, about 300 mV ; the photoeffect becomes equal to zero. In these conditions, when photoeffect is counterbalanced by AV the latter should be equal to the photoelectromotive force of the bacteriorhodopsin proteoliposome-planar membrane system.

To perform the total spin-spin analysis of a peptide of molecular weight about 1200, as witnessed by the scarcity of publications in this area, but the difficulty is magnified when peptides contain complex amino acids such as proline, ornithine, and leucine whose C? and Cy protons multiplets overlap. Gramicidin S has Cz symmetry 1 ; and its analysis should prove easier than most but it became necessary for us to resort to a ; double resonance, b ; synthesis of specifically deuterated amino acids, c ; incorporation of the latter by biosynthesis 17 ; into gramicidin S, and d ; analysis of the spectra by difference nmr. Our data in this publication illustrate the application of all these methods to unequivocally obtaining the pmr parameters 3 and J ; for the C"H-CPH2 multiplets of gramicidin S and to proving the ultimate usefulness of difference scalar decoupling. Assignments Based Upon Double Resonance and Biosynthetic Incorporation of Specifically Deuterated Amino Acids-The first assignments of the C"H and NH protons of a complex peptide were performed on gramicidin S l ; , but those assignments, while satisfactory for the time, did not unequivocally identify the leucine and omithine C' multiplets. It took our NOE experiments 4 ; to do this. Fig. la shows the assignments obtained then, but no attempt was made to achieve spin-spin analysis of the side chain spectra. By setting the fi frequency at ~-HZ intervals and smaller ; throughout the region 0.7 ppm to 2.5 ppm, it was possible, but tedious, to identify the chemical shifts of all Cp resonances to &2 Hz. An example of this is shown in Fig. 1. Having previously shown.

JOHN A. DANI AND DAVID G. LEVITT, Department ofPhysiology, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55455 ABSTRACT In an open circuit there can be no net cation flux through membranes containing only cation-selective channels, because electroneutrality must be maintained. If the channels are so narrow that water and cations cannot pass by each other, then the net water flux through those "single-file" channels that contain a cation is zero. It is therefore possible to determine the cation binding constants from the decrease in the average water permeability per channel as the cation concentration in the solution is increased. Three different methods were used to determine the osmotic water permeability of gramicidin channels in lipid bilayer membranes. The osmotic water permeability coefficient per gramicidin channel in the absence of cations was found to be 6 cm3 s. As the cation concentration was raised, the water permeability decreased and a binding constant was determined from a quantitative flt to the data. When the data were fitted assuming a maximum of one ion per channel, the dissociation constant was 115 mM for Li', 69 mM for K + , and 2 mM for Tl and granisetron.
