title: Revealing of the spin-spin interaction due to incorporating a spin label in the carbohydrate parts of immuniglobulins M and G.
abstract: The EPR spectra of the preparations produced by spin labeling of the carbohydrate parts in monoclonal IgM and normal IgG with 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-aminopiperidine-1-oxyl as the spin label indicate the existence of a rapid spin-spin exchange interaction between two spin labels. In the case of spin-labeled IgM, the carrier of such a spectrum is shown to be a glycopeptide noncovalently bound to IgM; it includes two spin labels and may be detached from the macromolecule by a combination of dialysis and gel filtration.
