The photolyses of electron donor–acceptor (EDA) complexes formed between both cis-stilbene (cS) and trans-stilbene (tS) as donors and mefhylviologen (MV+2) as acceptor have been carried out in homogeneous ethanolic and in micellar sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) solutions, in the presence of oxygen. The stilbene loss quantum yields (Φ−S) have been determined in both media. Quantum yields were observed to be dependent upon methylviologen concentration and the acidity of media. A reaction scheme is proposed, which accounts for experimental results and can be related to the photochemistry of MV+2 and its cation radical MV•+. Key words: EDA complexes, micelles, methyl viologen, stilbene.

The association constants for the electron donor–acceptor (EDA) complexes formed between both cis-stilbene (cS) and trans-stilbene (tS) as donors and methylviologen (MV+2) as acceptor were determined in ethanol and micellar sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) solutions in the range of SDS concentration 0.05–0.1 M. The values obtained in micellar solutions were much higher than those in ethanol and were heavily dependent upon SDS concentration. This effect is due to an increase in the local concentration of the reactants in the micellar pseudophase. The tS fluorescence quenching by MV+2 was also studied in the same solvent media. In ethanol, the Stern–Volmer plot was found to be linear, with quenching constant (KSV) similar to the association constant determined by the absorption method. In micellar solutions, although upward curvature of the Stern–Volmer plots was observed, a reaction scheme based on static quenching via ground state EDA complex is proposed, which explains the experimental results. Irradiation in the absorption band of the EDA complexes formed by tS or cS and MV+2 was carried out in ethanol and SDS solutions, in the absence of oxygen. Only cis–trans isomerization of cS in SDS solution was observed, with a quantum yield value of Φcis = 0.012.

Sodium dodecyl sulfate – polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of flagella from the thermophilic methanogen Methanococcus thermolithotrophicus indicated that they were composed of three major proteins, with molecular weights of 62 000,44 000, and 26 000, whereas all previously studied flagella of mesophilic methanogens consisted of two subunits. Proteins were isolated by preparative electrophoresis followed by complete removal of sodium dodecyl sulfate and their renaturation. It was shown that at least two of the proteins contain a thermostable domain whose complete denaturation proceeds only upon prolonged boiling in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. Key words: flagellin, thermostability, archaebacteria, Methanococcus thermolithotrophicus.
