Electric field effects on immobilized urease activity.

The behavior of an enzyme/membrane system containing urease is studied when an external electric field is applied. The device using a potential difference across the enzyme/membrane system is first described. Optimal operating conditions with respect to substrate concentration, ionic strength and pH are studied. Possible mechanisms of the change in membrane activity by electric field are discussed.

Electrostatic effects in hemoglobin: Bohr effect and ionic strength dependence of individual groups.

The electrostatic treatment applied in the preceding paper in this issue [Matthew, J. B., Hanania, G.I.H., & Gurd, F.R.N. (1979) Biochemistry (preceding paper in this issue)] to the titration behavior of individual groups in human deoxyhemoglobin and oxyhemoglobin was applied to the computation of the alkaline Bohr effect at various values of ionic strength. The enhanced proton binding of deoxyhemoglobin in the pH range of 6--9 was accounted for at ionic strength 0.01 M by the effects of the unique charge distributions of ionizable groups in the two quaternary states. At ionic strength 0.10 M the effects of 2--4 bound anions had to be considered in addition in the deoxyhemoglobin charge configuration. At the higher ionic strength 10 groups per tetramer contributed to the Bohr effect, whereas 28 groups were contributory at the lower ionic strength. The ionic strength dependence of individual groups in the two tetrameric structures as well as in the alpha-chain monomer was explained in terms of the electrostatic treatment. This examination showed that the differences in electrostatic behavior of deoxy- and oxyhemoglobin follow from particular dissymmetries in their configurations with respect to charge and static solvent accessibility.

Asymmetry of the gramicidin channel in bilayers of asymmetric lipid composition: I. Single channel conductance.

Gramacidin-doped asymmetric bilayers made by the Montal-Mueller method exhibited an asymmetric current-voltage relationship. The asymmetric conductance was shown to be the product of two components, a rectifying single-channel conductance and an asymmetric voltage dependence of the reaction which leads to the conducting channel. The single-channel conductance was asymmetric in both asymmetric bilayers made of charged lipids and asymmetric bilayers made only of neutral lipids. The single-channel asymmetry decreased with increasing ion concentration. From the comparison of the single-channel conductance in symmetric and asymmetric bilayers and the dependence of the asymmetry on the solution ion concentrations, it was concluded that (1) the rate of ion entry into the channel is dependent on the lipid composition of the membrane and is asymmetric in asymmetric bilayers; (2) the entry step is rate determining at low ion concentrations; and (3) at higher ion concentrations the rate-determining step is the translocation across the main barrier in the membrane; and this translocation appears insensitive to lipid asymmetry.
