Surface potential changes on energization of mycoplasma cell membranes. 1985

J L Rigaud, and D Lajeunesse, and C Le Grimellec

The membrane surface potential of mycoplasma cells was measured by changes in the partition between the membrane and the aqueous environment of the impermeable cationic amphipatic spin probe 4-(N,N-dimethyl-N-nonyl)ammonium-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (CAT9). Upon energization of glycolyzing mycoplasma cells, the outer surface of these membranes becomes more negatively charged. The effects of uncouplers further indicate that this change in surface potential appear to be dependent on the existence of a delta pH across the membranes.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008564	Membrane Potentials	The voltage differences across a membrane. For cellular membranes they are computed by subtracting the voltage measured outside the membrane from the voltage measured inside the membrane. They result from differences of inside versus outside concentration of potassium, sodium, chloride, and other ions across cells' or ORGANELLES membranes. For excitable cells, the resting membrane potentials range between -30 and -100 millivolts. Physical, chemical, or electrical stimuli can make a membrane potential more negative (hyperpolarization), or less negative (depolarization).

D004578	Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy	A technique applicable to the wide variety of substances which exhibit paramagnetism because of the magnetic moments of unpaired electrons. The spectra are useful for detection and identification, for determination of electron structure, for study of interactions between molecules, and for measurement of nuclear spins and moments. (From McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, 7th edition) Electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy is a variant of the technique which can give enhanced resolution. Electron spin resonance analysis can now be used in vivo, including imaging applications such as MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING.
