Abstract
Thermal transitions in pig erythrocyte ghosts were studied by differen tial scanning calorimetry and thermal gel analysis (TGA). Heating of t he suspension of pig erythrocyte ghosts induced at least six thermodyn amically irreversible transitions. Each of these transitions is believ ed to be due to a localized structural transition induced by thermal s tress. Using TGA and covalent attachment of the anionic transport inhi bitor regions in the thermograms corresponding to the heat sorption of some proteins of the pig erythrocyte ghosts were identified.
