[The effect of ATP on the cell membrane structure]

ATP influence on the structure of plasma membranes thymocytes of cattle was studied. Fluorescence anisotropy of tryptophan residues of membrane proteins, fluorescence anisotropy of 3-methoxybenzanetron and fluorescence intensity of 1-anilinonaphthalene-8-sulphonate were determined. Changes of tryptophan fluorescence anisotropy and of ANS fluorescence intensity were established. It is supposed that the observed changes are connected with the change of membrane proteins structure and plasma membrane charge.
