5-(iodoacetamidoethyl)aminonaphthalene-l-sulfonic acid covalently attached to one thiol by the acceptor 5- (iodoacetamido)fluorescein linked to the other. Com- parable results were obtained from measurements of acceptor sensitization. When the donor was attached to SH1 and the acceptor to SH2, the mean donor-acceptor separation based on the assumption of isotropic and rapid random orientation of both attached probes (R(2/ 3)) is 46 A. Since the orientational freedom of both probes was partially restricted, lower and upper bounds of R were calculated from the observed transfer data and depolarization factors determined from do- nor- and acceptor-labeled proteins. The mean lower bound (R(min)) is 29 and the mean upper bound (R(max)) is 76 A. Of these three distance parameters, R(2/3) and R(max) may be ruled out on structural grounds since the two thiols are known to be only 10 residues apart in the primary structure of the heavy chain. Slightly smaller values of these parameters were obtained when the donor and acceptor locations were switched. Addition of F-actin reduced R(min) by 5 A, whereas MgADP had no detectable effect on the mini- mum separation. Quenching of the donor emission by acrylamide was investigated by both the steady state and nanosecond methods. Evidence was obtained that the emission of the covalently attached donor contained two components. Resolution of the lifetimes was facil- itated by the presence of acrylamide. The quenching of this emission is attributed to collisional quenching. MgADP reduced the quenching when the donor was located at the SH1 thiol, but it had no effect on the quenching when attached to the SH2 site. The donor attached to SH1 was also quenched by iodide and the quenching pattern was compatible with multiple emis- sion components.
