    Abstract:
    The dependence from temperature and viscosity of the shifts of the internal and external wide extremums in the ESR spectra of spin labelled bovine serum albumin has been studied. 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-NI-oxyl-4-iodacetamide was used as a spin label. The obtained dependences was shown to be a consequence of the label participation in two types of rotations: an anisotropic fast rotation with tau less than 10(-9) sec relatively to a macromolecule, and the isotropic one with tau greater than 10(-8) sec due to rotation of the macromolecule itself. These conclusions were done on the basis of a model for complex rotation of the spin label. Comparison of theoretical and experimental data makes it possible to determined the correlation time for the protein moiety, to evaluate quantitatively the polarity of surroundings of the iminoxyl and to introduce a numerical parameter for the degree of mobility of the spin label relatively to protein molecule.
