Localization of the PCMB-R spin label and benzocarboline probe bound with the purified preparation of pig kidney-Na+, K(+)-ATPase relative to active site of the enzyme was studied by EPR method. The number of Mn2+ ions in active site of the enzyme as well as that bound with lipids was determined from EPR spectra of paramagnetic manganese ions replacing magnesium ions were measured in frozen protein samples of Na2+, K(+)-ATPase at 77 K. It has been found that sulfhydryl group of the enzyme modified by PCMB-R and benzocarboline probe are placed at distances 38 A and 50 A, respectively, from Mn2+ ions in the active site of Na+, K(+)-ATPase. Evaluation of the immersion depth of the nitroxyl radical into protein globule showed that benzocarboline probe was immobilized near the macromolecular protein surface; there are two bound probe sites, distinguished by accessibility of ferricyanide ions.

The dependence of the external and internal wide hyperfine extreme shifts of the ESR spectra on temperature and viscosity for spin-probes in solution of BSA was studied. Seven homologous spin-probes of carboline and benzocarboline derivatives were used. The obtained dependences are a consequence of the involvement of the spin-probe in two types of rotation: an anisotropic fast reorientation with tau > 10(-9) s with respect to a macromolecule and the isotropic one with tau > 10(-8) s due to rotation of the macromolecule itself.

Viscosity, temperature and ionic strength dependences of ESR microwave saturation parameters of spin labelled human oxyhemoglobin (Hb) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) have been studied. The piperidine and pyrrolidine nitroxyl derivatives of maleimide were used as covalent SH reagents for Hb and BSA and the same two derivatives of gamma-benzocarboline and spin labelled stearic acid were used as noncovalent spin probes for BSA. The effects of label binding tightness on ESR spectral parameters were considered.
