Abstract excerpt
The diphtheria toxin transmembrane (T) domain was spin-labeled at consecutive residues in a helical segment, TH9. After binding of the T domain to membranes at low pH, the nitroxide side chains generated by spin labeling were measured with respect to their frequency of collision with polar and nonpolar reagents. The data showed that the helical structure of TH9 in solution is conserved, with one face exposed to...
