Abstract excerpt
The Ca(2+)-ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum reacts with N-cyclohexyl-N'-(4-dimethylamino-1-naphthyl) carbodiimide (NCD4) yielding a fluorescence labeling that interferes with calcium binding to activating and transport sites of the enzyme and, thereby, with Ca(2+)-dependent ATPase activity. On the other hand, the catalytic site does not appear altered, as revealed by the normal occurrence of Ca(2+)-independent...
