EFFECTS OF MELITTIN ON KINETICS OF bR INTERMEDIATE M_(412) AND PROTON PUMPING
蜂毒对菌紫质(bR)光循环中间体M_(412)和质子泵的影响

Melittin has great effects on the bR photocycle intermediate M412 and proton pumping. The facts that the half-life times of M4l2s and proton are increased and their yields are decreased by melittin strongly suggest that melittin molecules inhibit the kinetic process and proton pumping. But melittin seems to have no effect on M412f. The experiments also verify the direct interactions between melittin and bR molecules beside that of melittin and lipids. The use of melittin in the further studies of membrane protein and lipid is recomended.
