A stearamide spin probe was used to study the light-induced structural changes in Rod Outer Segment Membranes in the presence of sodium and calcium ions. The correlation time (τC) for the reorientation of the probe was calculated in the dark and light. In the presence of sodium ions,τC= 3.3 × 10−9sec in the dark, and 2.7 × 10−9sec in the light while the opposite was noticed in the presence of calcium ions,τC= 2.9 × 10−9sec in the dark and 3.6 × 10−9sec in the light. The correlation times for reorientation of the probe were also calculated in aqueous glycerol solutions of varying viscosities at 20°C. Comparison of the values ofτC(dark and light) suggests a change in local mobility in the ROS corresponding to a macroscopic viscosity difference of approximately 150 cp. The significance of calcium ion interaction with negatively charged groups and the formation of a Schiff base is emphasized.
