A technique has been elaborated for preparation of deuterated membranes from deuterated cells of Micrococcus lysodeikticus containing 85--90% of deuterium according to the data of IR and PMR spectroscopy. Normal lysis of the deuterated cells of M. lysodeikticus requires a concentration of lysozyme which is eight times higher than for usual cells (8 mg per 1 g of wet deuterated cells) and an addition of the lytic enzymes E-2 (2 mg per 1 g of wet deuterated cells). Preparations of deuterated membranes purified from ribosomes and proteins can be obtained by treating of the lysate with RNAase and washing in 0.5 M NaCl. The purity of the deuterated membranes was evaluated by the evidence of electron microscopy, IR spectra and enzyme activities. After hydrogen atoms were substituted by deuterium, the secondary structure of the total membrane protein, the ratio between the activities of the respiratory chain enzymes, and the relative content of the lipid and protein components of the deuterated membranes remain at the same level as in the protonated ones.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008566 Membranes Thin layers of tissue which cover parts of the body, separate adjacent cavities, or connect adjacent structures. Membrane Tissue,Membrane,Membrane Tissues,Tissue, Membrane,Tissues, Membrane
D008837 Micrococcus A genus of gram-positive, spherical bacteria found in soils and fresh water, and frequently on the skin of man and other animals.
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D009113 Muramidase A basic enzyme that is present in saliva, tears, egg white, and many animal fluids. It functions as an antibacterial agent. The enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of 1,4-beta-linkages between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in peptidoglycan and between N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in chitodextrin. EC 3.2.1.17. Lysozyme,Leftose,N-Acetylmuramide Glycanhydrolase,Glycanhydrolase, N-Acetylmuramide,N Acetylmuramide Glycanhydrolase
D010088 Oxidoreductases The class of all enzymes catalyzing oxidoreduction reactions. The substrate that is oxidized is regarded as a hydrogen donor. The systematic name is based on donor:acceptor oxidoreductase. The recommended name will be dehydrogenase, wherever this is possible; as an alternative, reductase can be used. Oxidase is only used in cases where O2 is the acceptor. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992, p9) Dehydrogenases,Oxidases,Oxidoreductase,Reductases,Dehydrogenase,Oxidase,Reductase
D002384 Catalysis The facilitation of a chemical reaction by material (catalyst) that is not consumed by the reaction. Catalyses
D002458 Cell Fractionation Techniques to partition various components of the cell into SUBCELLULAR FRACTIONS. Cell Fractionations,Fractionation, Cell,Fractionations, Cell
D003903 Deuterium The stable isotope of hydrogen. It has one neutron and one proton in the nucleus. Deuterons,Hydrogen-2,Hydrogen 2
D012260 Ribonucleases Enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of ester bonds within RNA. EC 3.1.-. Nucleases, RNA,RNase,Acid Ribonuclease,Alkaline Ribonuclease,Ribonuclease,RNA Nucleases,Ribonuclease, Acid,Ribonuclease, Alkaline
