Differential scanning calorimetry, fluorescence spectroscopy and freeze-fracture EM were applied to a study of the reconstituted Ca2+-ATPase proteins from [rabbit] sarcoplasmic reticulum when they are incorporated into pure lipid/water systems. The results obtained with these techniques were used to examine the effects of this intrinisc protein upon the surrounding lipid at temperatures above and below the main lipid solid-fluid phase transition temperature (Tc). Above this Tc value, the freeze-fracture data show that the proteins are randomly distributed within the plane of the bilayer. The fluorescence data show that as the protein content in the bilayer increases, the microviscosity does also. Below Tc, the proteins occur in high protein to lipid patches separate from the remaining crystalline lipid. The fluorescence data indicate that at these temperatures the presence of the protein causes a decrease in microviscosity, while the calorimetric data indicate a decrease in enthalpy of the main lipid transition. A premelting of the high protein to lipid patches formed by phase separation within the lipid bilayers is indicated by the calorimetric and fluorescence data. This observation is used to rationalize the anomalous properties of the dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine-ATPase of exhibiting activity at temperatures well below the lipid phase transition at 41.degree.
