PROTEINS AT LOW TEMPERATURES

Equation (4) describes a partition between two forms of the complex one, with fraction f, that exhibits quenching and one that does not. Equation (5) corresponds to a distribution of forms with a range of quenching rates whose breadth varies inversely with n the occurrence of distributions is well-established for proteins at low temperatures [29]. In either case, the non-exponential kinbtics necessitate that conformational interconversion in the transition range is slow compared to the lifetime of the triplet state and the gating limit is applicable.

The purpose of this volume is to draw together summaries of major research studies that have dealt with the behavior of proteins at low temperatures, and to thereby stimulate additional research in this area. The book is organized to provide an "overview chapter followed by chapters on low temperature behavior of proteins in simple systems, in plant tissues, and in animal tissues.
