Abstract
The active site of porcine pepsin and that of rhizopus chinensis acid protease were labeled with diazoketone type spin labels, 4-(3-diazo-2-oxopropylidene)-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (I) and 3-(4-diazo-3-oxo- cis-1-butenyl)-2,2,5,5-tetramethylpyrroline-1-oxyl (II), respectively. The values of τ c showed that the nitroxide motion was only slightly restricted in the I bound enzymes. The trans isomer of II bound to another site of the enzymes. Addition of pepstatin reduced the nitroxide motion in all the labeled enzymes.
