Abstract
A nitroxide spin label probe technique was applied to study the interaction between glutaraldehyde or osmium tetroxide (OsO4) and the membranes of horse erythrocytes, ghosts and liposomes prepared from erythrocyte lipids. Two major conclusions have been established: (1) Reaction of the fixation reagents with the membrane is selective. OsO4 reacts predominantly with lipids and glutaraldehyde with membrane proteins. (2) The lipid-protein interactions change after pretreatment by OsO4 or glutaraldehyde.
