Popis: | The influence of pH, temperature and Ca2+-release on the phenylalanyl and tyrosyl fluorescence of muscular parvalbumins from white muscles of hake and carp has been investigated. Within the pH range from 7 to 8, Ca2+-saturated parvalbumins show a conformational change registered by fluorescence, that is associated with the release of some of the bound Ca2+. Removal of Ca2+ by means of EGTA (ethyleneglycolbis-(aminoethylether)tetra-acetic acid) considerably narrows the region of protein nativity, increases the accessibility of their chromophores to quencher ions (Cs+ and CNS−) and decreases their stability against heat denaturation. The usefulness of measurements of the phenylalanine fluorescence and of the tyrosine-phenylalanine energy transfer in the investigation of these and other proteins is discussed. |
